I didn't know snot was that dangerous to the engine components!

This one is only my fault for not inspecting a borrowed power bleeder better. I was pressurizing the container when the hose busted and sprayed me in the face (that's what she said!). I had to quickly clean it off the front fender, and I definitely spent some time cleaning up the engine bay. Not to mention I was tasting brake fluid for the next few hours
