I got the two way; couldn't find the 4way at homedepot. Anyway, I did it myself, was really easy, but I was dumb and didn't tighten the screw clamp tight enough before I started the car. Hence, coolant seeped out. Got on my the shift linkage area. I wiped it up and there was a lot of coolant on the ground; probably like 1/4 cup's worth. Is there anything I really need to worry about as far as electricals or sensitive stuff under the hood? none got on the battery or in the throttle body.

Thanks! Might go and pick up some coolant, but I hear you need to use honda's and they only sell it in giant 20 dollar jugs or something.

Lastly, I was wondering if that coupler would affect the flow of coolant at all, making it more inefficient as far as flow. Am I just crazy?
