I would be overly cautious here and drain your fluid + change your filter.

yeah i admit i was a little tired one time and put washer fluid in my colant tank.

Drain that stuff and change the filter better to be safe then sorry.

tranny fluid has a lot of detergents and can be used to flush your engine. That little bit would not hurt your engine

It is a good flush. Just ask the guy at Quick 10 who got 5qts of it in his crankcase! I was only 17 and grabbed the wrong nozzle

No big one just change your oil and the tranny fluid just cleaned your engine for you.

ha, in my old oil leaking tbird turbo coupe I used to run 4 qts 15w-40 rotella and a bottle of dexron, it helped clean and also swells seals, I had 0 oil leaks after about 2 oil changes(oil pan gasket and rear main quit leaking) and this was on a stock motor that saw 27psi every day of the week. I think youd be ok with just a hair in there.
