Another quick question..with that water, I recently changed dif fluid to amsoil.I was too lazy to extend breathers.

Off chance I got some into the hose past the cap on top..will it burn off? Being new fluid and caps still on?

Thanks

Check to see if the fluid is milky at all. If it is, drain and refill. Chances are if you just flew thru it and water hit the windsheild, you're ok. If you got stuck and are sitting in it up to your mirrors, that's when you'll really run into trouble.
