If you have a power steering cooler, that's where the mix would have happened. Unfortunately (for those wanting to keep their cars 100% stock) this part is so prone to failure that, to my knowledge, GM no longer makes them. If you want to still have a PS cooler on your car, I recommend the Derale coolers available from Summit or Jegs.
To correct this, simply flush your PS system, install the aftermarket cooler of your choice, then fill the reservoir and bleed the system. You will also want to flush your cooling system as well. I did mine about a month ago. There are many useful threads on the forum you can use for information.
