Question anti-freeze in the powersteering???

I crawled under the dakota and there was fluid everywhere. I know theres a powersteering leak but theres also anti-freeze dripping and I cant find where its coming from. I went to fill my powersteering back up and it appears that there is anti-freeze in the power steering unit. How and why is this happening.

There is no way the 2 could have crossed on its own. If antifreeze in the power steering fluid, someone put it there. Some power steering fluid is different colors. Most are clear. If your truly worried about it just disconnect the fluid lines and drain the pump. Fill it back up with new fluid.
