Jack oil will not hurt the power steering system as the system can handle power steering fluid and transmission fluid. As long as the oil is about the same viscosity of the fluid, then it will be okay since it is a little amount. If you need further assistance with your power steering system, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.
