Bleed air from power steering

Added fluid to my power steering and having trouble. What’s the best way to bleed air from the system?

I was gonna say the same, wonder where he poured the fluid into? Could be a problem putting steering fluid into a place it doesn't belong.

Hope he didn’t put it into the brake fluid! It will cause all the rubber to expand and lock up the brakes...

More than likely just added it to the blinker fluid reservoir

He did state, "Added fluid to my power steering..."

Where did you put this fluid? Might end up with a bigger problem now.
