Sure thing Jeff, just put it under there and drain it back into the engine before you start it up.

We should have gone ahead and replaced the seal but this was day 4 of working on it and nothing had gone right. Busted 2 u joints, two pitman arm pullers, ended up buying a new pitman arm. Got it all back together and it still had a coolant leak after replacing the leaky 8 month old radiator (cracked thermostat housing) and the new steering box was leaking power steering fluid and sloppier than the one being replaced.
BUT the pan didn't leak and the axle didn't make a roaring noise so it was partially sucessful haha.
Got another steering box that is going in today assuming no hiccups.

Maybe hanging a drain pan with a sump.

We had an old Detroit 8V like that. You army guys probably appreciate that one.

Something went right. I replaced the brand-new strut mount on the left side of the Scoobytruck with another brand-new one that DIDN'T have a bad bearing and now the pull is gone. Nice to have the (award winning) Banana Boat back on the road.
