On a similar yet different note, I siphoned some transmissin fluid out of a power steering pump one time to keep from having to remove the pump and dump it. (On older cars I always just used transmission fluid for power steering fluid.) I am the definition of lazy and that seemed a heck of a lot easier. After I got a mouthfull of that stuff, I coughed and gaged and had that taste for a couple of days later. Now, 10 years later, I still start gagging and get nausious at the smell of transmisison fluid.
