This is also the answer to the question:
"How slow is the 405FWY ?"

I wish he had left the photos up. I kind of liked it, with half-gallon or more of yellow stuff on the floor, under the car, and a caption that said "has anybody else had this problem?". Like, yeah, looks like you blew a seal.

It doesn't surprise me one bit that OP took the pictures down and deleted the text. It surprises me even less that no account of resolution was posted to avoid being called "stupid" again. While some folks were polite on this tread, others weren't.

We all did some goofy when younger and first learning about our cars. Goes with paying your dues, and learning the ropes. Many of us were lucky enough to learn from some old bolt crunchers that had years of experience, and some had to learn on there own. No right no wrong, just part of the learning curve.

That happens on any board sadly. There were several other extremly informative threads locked yesterday because of abuse. The one by John58 being one of them. He being simply the messenger, the responses by some were uncalled for. It would be nice if the op would return and inform us as you said of the outcome. It could save someone else a lot of grief and aggravation.

I had similar experience. I did some work on a transaxle and was refilling it with oil. I got about half gallon or more in when my friend holler'd Whoa. I left a seal out of the axle shaft. and all of the oil ended up on the floor. Not the first time. I've dumped just about every liquid that goes in a motor vehicle on the floor due to my status as amateur mechanic.

Heck when I take my dog out after he's been in his crate all night there is a lot of PEE!

On our two mile+ walk around the Lake we live on he has enough to mark many of the mail box posts! Kidneys only have a few drops left for the last few as we're almost back home.

Btw, the brake lines were SUPER TIGHT when the vehicle was up on the lift, I think they could use about 1 to 2cm more length in the line.

I believe you nailed it @dohabandit. Sad the op decided to cover his tracks.

Like when I dropped a Porsche 911 engine and transaxle in my garage to change the rear main seal on the engine. I did the whole job and when I fired it up, motor oil was coming out in a thin stream. Had to drop the whole assembly AGAIN because when I was tapping the main seal into the back of the block the spring inside the seal popped off.

One correction, the line that was super tight when lowering my car wasn't the brake line, it was the front end lift line. That hose is just too damned short.
It took me forever to get that banjo fitting to properly line up with the threads in the strut. Maybe because I was really paranoid about cross threading the banjo nut, but the hose is stiff and just a bit too short I think.
