It is not necessary to run the drill motor at full speed. If you have
someone in the car watching the oil pressure gauge you will find that full
pressure is reached at drill motor speeds that won't cause the oil to be
pulled up and out of the dizzy hole. Just run the drill motor
counter-clockwise at a speed that builds full pressure and won't spill oil
for 2 or 3 minutes. You should have everything well oiled when you are
finished.

Hmmm-
I remember making a bit of a mess, then calling it quits. But oil didn't
try making a break for it immediately.
The oil that comes up the shaft should just be a trickle- the leakage around
the shaft-
I THINK! It's been a while- can anyone confirm this?
