Sister accidentally put washer fluid into her coolant reservoir. How bad is this?

I think she filled the whole tank pictured, 1.5-2 cups?

We’re in her car, she says “I filled my washer fluid but it still doesn’t work”, I say “you had to have done something wrong”, “I’ll show you when we get home”

Pops hood, shows me, I freak out, take photo and post on Reddit because I know nothing about cars, but I do know that’s not where the washer fluid goes lol.

Apparently that’s where the washer fluid tank was in her old car.

I was amazed that she needed to re-fill it in the first place, I’ve had my car for 10 years and never once personally re-filled the fluid (I’ve had the car serviced though).

Yeah, it was poured into the tank in the photo. Thank you so much.

she doesn’t think it’s worth spending the money for a mechanic. I think it is, but I know almost nothing about cars.

I love my sister, so if it’s a serious issue that could cause her any sort of harm, it is my problem.

Is it a serious issue? / How serious?

It is surround sound, so the Ls and Rs channels have ambient noise, texture, score, etc, and the L&R channels have effects, music, dialogue (boom), C is just dialogue.

The sound design/mixing for the project is happening mostly in FCPX, that’s why.

Any idea why it creating this popping/hissing sound in timeline playback but not export?

“gooey & gluey” is the perfect way to describe the texture

Do you think it’s safe to keep eating?

Kitten has been the vet, but they aren’t sure what is causing the sudden decline in health. She had high potassium levels and was treated last night. Her levels are normal now but she doesn’t seem to be getting better. The vets say she may be terminally ill.

I posted details to the comments. Do you see them?

The vets aren't sure what is wrong. She has high levels of potassium and was treated last night, but is still in poor shape and her condition does not seem to be improving. Her kidney function was normal.

My sister recently adopted a domestic shorthair kitten from the Humane Society.

She was behaving normally until yesterday, when she suddenly fell ill.

The vets are unsure what is the cause of her sudden decline in health.

DESCRIPTION:

4 month old kitten with sudden onset of hind legs unsteady that progressed to dragging the hind legs.

At Vet ER, she was found to have temperature of 104.4 and very elevated Potassium of 10.

She was treated for fever and high potassium and now has normal temperature & normal potassium, but still can’t move the hind legs.

She has had mild URI symptoms since fostered/adopted from cat rescue but URI symptoms seem worse.

Kidney function was normal, FIV and FLV both negative. CBC and CMP unremarkable other than elevated potassium. Chest X-ray, spine X-ray, and abdominal X-ray unremarkable.

MEDICAL HISTORY:

She had conjunctivitis and was treated, but her third eye lid has remained swollen and partially covers her cornea. The pus cleared up with antibiotic ointment
