If the brake fluid is not flushed out it MIGHT swell all the rubber hoses and affect the PLASTIC INVERTER WATERPUMP. It all depends on how much was added, Did the coolant absorb the brake fluid like water does?
I would not take a chance on it.
I would have someone who knows how.... flush that system.
The Inverter coolant system is very difficult to service as it will develop
an air pocket and has to be bled out. It takes usually in excess of 1 hr to do this time consuming job.
