It made a hell of a mess under the hood. I was going about 40 and the airdam forced a lot of the fluid up into the headers and even onto the hood from the airflow. The entire underbody was coated, and everything that hit exhaust went up it white smoke and crusted onto the exhuast tubing. When it happened I actually thought I blew a head gasket because of the smoke. Luckily I had tools in the trunk, and pulled over really fast in the shoulder of an on ramp when it happened. After it was fixed I had to drive another 20min back home and some guy waived me down saying I was going to blow my motor soon because of all the smoke; I told him its OK, the smoke is normal  |
Eh, stuff happens to everyone. I plumbed my type 2 power steering conversion with braided lines and high end parts, assuming that the ZOOPS resivoir had the correct fittings already installed in the right holes (both 3/8 NPT). As it was they were backwards- so my PS fluid foamed and sprayed out the weep hole since the diverter wasn't on the right hole. A few rags and some speedy dri later the only thing hurt was my pride.
