Well there are no openings for power steering because its electronic on the cobalts the brake fluid bottle is on the firewall in the engine compartment on the drivers side, the cap clearly says brake fluid, i don't know who was checking your car but all cobalts have electric steering. in order to fix the problem your going to have to have the brake system completely flushed with new brake fluid before any damage is done, hopefully no damage occured already!
the place that did the oil change is responsible for the damage, they were the last people to touch the braking system. this is why i tell people to go back to the dealer instead of small shops, dealer technicians are factory trained and it is very very rare that anything like that would ever happen at a dealer! i've worked for both sides, dealer and small shop. its a world of a difference with the quality and knowledge that dealer trained technicians have. small shops just can't keep up with the changes in technology and training needed to work on today's cars!

Thanks! Too late for that. The entire brake system is ruined. I'm trying to get the place that changed my oil to pay for it, or the warranty, or my insurance. I hope I can get this worked out on Monday.
Yes, it is a hard lesson learned. I will only take the car to the dealer from now on. Thank you.
