Bummer.. You got what I had. The leak is right above the exhaust so it burns off and never see drips

Default Hee hee...read this...

I got outta work early yesterday, and came home to change the oil in my beater Mustang. I popped the hood, and saw the windshield wash reservoir cap was open, and the tank looked pretty empty, so I grabbed a bottle of fluid, and dumped a quart in the tank (that's all I had left). I closed the tank, and read the top of the cap (COOLANT ONLY). Doh! I grabbed a turkey baster, and started siphoning off fluids. I was going to bring it into the shop in the next couple weeks for a coolant flush (and the stuff I siphoned off told me it's been TOO long since this crud has been flushed out), but it ended up in the shop for a flush and fill today. Stupid stupid stupid stupid me! :-( I'm not a blonde either! :-P
