What type of power steering fluid did he use? Some power steering units take ATF. But then you are probably overfilled. I would have the transmission serviced. That means a fluid change with fresh fluid and replace the filter. Your probably due anyway.

Since it was probably just a small amount there is no need to panic but change the ATF as soon as possible.
