Engineers in the house, does putting engine oil instead of power steering fluid have any negative effects on the car? Let's hear your views please.

how much did you add?
If the thickness is same as the ps fluid then you shouldn't t worry. If it's only the engine oil that's in there its gonna f*ck some things up there you gotta flush it out.

I would drain and refill with the correct power steering fluid. Then after driving it for a couple of days, drain again and refill.
