I would still recommend clean fluid (turkey baster or full flush).

Get one of those fabric covers for the fluid seepage - normal for hpde use.



Never disconnect the abs lines you can remove the hold down bolts for the whole unit and just "nudge" it out of the way a little to get some working room.

Since i just replaced the rack and pump I have fresh Redline fluid in. I have seen your video where you made a cutout seep cover for the cap. Maybe I have been lucky as mine hasn't leaked

If you have a ps cooler, remove excess fluid so that it barely touches the dipstick. If you still puke fluid something is wrong. As many have stated, if you fill to the "full" line you will have swolen fluid and it will overflow
