lol. No I just forgot to click it completely shut...so when I started the car it dripped out fairly rapidly.

I'm so glad I checked it before I went inside for the night, or 5q of Mobil 1 in my carport would not have been fun to wake up to.

None... not enough to even be worth topping off...but enough that it would've all leaked out by morning.

I have had a fumoto valve on my last 3 cars. Makes for a oild change that is a non event.
I usually do not even put the car on ramps just open the hood unscrew the oil filler cap and then drain the oil, close the valve replace the filter. At that point you do not have to go unde the car again. Fill up with oil all done.
I never change sequence since bad things can happen

glad you noticed it early.
glad you did not leave it over night and finally
glad you did not drive it off in the morning with no oil.

Cheers

Nick
