OMG, I freak out if I lose a few drops. I don't want to consider the panic attack I would succumb to if it sprayed all over.
I did have an Olympic brain fart when I was very young that could have been catastrophic but miraculously I bailed myself out with cleverness and a lot of luck. Cliff notes: I left a quick disconnect coupling stuck inside the bore of the spark plug in my 190E. I has visions of having to replace the entire engine head. Or at the very least having to pull it off and paying someone to remove the threaded fitting. This was all during a valve stem seal replacement on all 6 cylinders.
