Don't panic. Eventually it will evaporate. What's worse is engine oil or transmission fluid in the cooling system because it will rot rubber hoses. Coolant in engine oil will melt the first layer of metal on engine bearings. That is real serious. The most common is to read about petroleum products like oil, transmission fluid, and grease getting in the brake fluid. That will immediately turn into a real expensive repair.
