Default A heads up? Power steering fluid question..

I made the mistake of putting advance auto parts power steering fluid in my car. It leaked out, and I went to the dealer and bought the right fluid. Am I looking at any kind of damage to my power steering system? What do i need to do to fix this issue?

your seals could have deteriorated from that fluid, but i doubt it did that much damage for a month
