This afternoon I had to replace the power steering pump on my truck. Got everything off and new pump back on, but in my hurry to get it all back together before dark, I forgot to flush the system before I took it out on the road to make sure there were no problems or leaks.

Did I screw up and ruin everything by not doing this? Should I do it tomorrow before putting any more miles on it? Also, the new pump did not have a filter. Should I get some sort of in-line filter to put on the return line?
