YUCK! Ok, who cleaned up that mess? Just how much degreasing did you have to
do?

I feel for you. I truly do.

Allen,

I can answer number 1 because I accidentally started my U20 without a
dipstick in
it the other night.  You can't leave that hole open.  Even if you have to go
get a
dipstick kit and cut it off short, put something in that hole.  You would
not
believe how much oil that engine can blow out of that hole.
