get it flushed asap, dont just do the reservoir, its needs a good bleed to flush out all the oil, it will boiol if hot, it may well attack you seals, your ok to drive it locally to a garage tho, just not fast and long distance. focus has pot directly on the master cylinder on ur model, so it will contaminate the brake lines before you can do owt about it
as has been said brake fliud if odd stuff, it absorbs moisture and thats what causes it to boil, it should be changed periodically any how. for that reason.
also when thay do it make sure they remove the rear bleed nipples completly and fluch out the corrosion, there prone to corode and leak on tightening, removing the nipple flushes out the debry and lets em re seal ok.
