Learned a valuable lesson the other day. I came home from a drive and before I exited car was checking on some electrical functions. When done went in the house and about an hour later came out and noticed my oil pressure light was still on in the car. Well I had left key in the "on" position. Turned it off and opened hood to check a few things and noticed a clear liquid film on my air cleaner cover. Tracked it to the coil and discovered it had exploded at the top and leaked everywhere! Was able to quickly get another one and it is installed and ready to go. Waiting on rebuilt fuel pump and then will see if ignition module is ok. Moral of the story? Make sure your key is off if not running car for extended periods of time.
