Idiot? I think I just put washer fluid in the brake fluid coolant container?
I have a 2000 2.7 Boxster. Thinking I was following the online Boxster pdf manual I just put washer fluid in the blue capped back trunk resevoir labeled 'water'.
Now, having pushed the windshield wiper buttons and hearing the (still empty) motor from the front, I'm thinking that I made a (huge) mistake. The picture in the manual now seems to look more like the front trunk and front blue capped resevoir.
So, is the washer fluid blue capped resevoir in the FRONT the washer fluid?
If so,
a) what did I mis-fill; and
b) what do I need to do to fix it; and
c) what should I expect that to cost?
Thanks - small panic on my part.

edited to note that the blue in back in likely coolant
