None in the Z, but recently the wife's car was making noise from the power steering system, and since the fluid had never been changed, seemed like an easy fix. I had pulled out my shop turkey baster and removed all the old fluid from the reservoir and topped up with new PS fluid. Then I realized I had performed this routine bit of maintenance on the brake fluid reservoir.

Fortunately I had plenty of brake fluid on hand and could then remove the PS fluid and refill with brake fluid. Then I had the pleasure of performing a full brake system bleed, twice, to make sure I flushed all bits of contaminated fluid out of the system.

Won't make that mistake again.
