Naw, it's engine oil. The oil filter o'ring on the SE engine needs to be replaced. I do clean it every weekend.

Sometimes I have the Number 1 from Micky D's on it,
when I have a Big Mac attack.

lol.... I was thinking the same thing. Every time we do that in my auto shop class, we allways get a scolding and a shit load of paper work do do for like a week before we can work in the shop again

if all you get is a scolding, rather than the heavy end of a car dropped on top of you, consider yourself lucky.

Hey nice setup! Just like mine :D
I have a custom strut tower brace though, the RB one is heavy and not legal in CSP.

ha, my shop teacher has a '70 mustang gt500 no joke with 50k miles on it and hes the original owner. he had me crawl under it and change his oil, with no jack stand, when i asked it i should do that he relies "i dont know where they are.. dont worry about it" because our school just got redone and they moved shit everywhere. no that i think of it, i cant remember the last time i used/saw a jack stand.

screw the oil problem on the floor, you need to worry about the wheel assembly that fell off the front. going trike?

By the way, you guys know this is an OLD ASS THREAD right??

Looks like you already have it done, but a tip on the SE's front stabilizer bar is that the lower Oil Cooler line is *underneath* the stabilizer bar due to the raised location of the oil cooler in the SE. This means that unless you want to do gymnastics with the bar under the car, taking off one tension rod mount and rotation the beast around to straddle the oil cooler lines (top and bottom), you're going to have to remove the oil cooler line, which is preceded by draining the oil...

I found this out the hard way, and chose the gymnastic route, instead. Plus, my Koni front bar is so thick that I had to air-grind the tension rod mounts to fit the ends of the bar through, then air-grind the underbody where it contacts the bar. All this, to get good, clean motion out of the bar, with the car lowered onto the springs.

BTW, the front boots on my struts were just fine, but would probably be worth it to replace them while you have the springs and shock mounts off of the top. Use caution when working with those springs - they can kill you if not handled correctly (i.e. compressors, or caution, or both). HTH,
