Just drain the coolant and oil first. It is stupid to try it with the engine full of fluids.

So - I need to drain the coolant now, because the ring on that hose is in fact leaking.

And still figure out what to do about the other fluid laying around.

This is why my husband says not all my ideas are good ones. Also why I'm doing this while he is out of town!
I drained both oil and coolant before starting the job and pulling off the top rad hose and the block to T start still spilled a good amount of coolant.

Although I had drain the second part at the water pump inlet compared to TIS procedure that says to drain it from T stat lower rad hose so maybe that's why.

For the fluid, you return it to your ecocentre. But you're in the USA so probably auto parts store will take it.
