No, it's wet but according to the Haynes manual, you can take the cover off and not lose all the oil. Below is the info from that manual. I plan on having a piece of plastic sheeting draped/taped over the frame to force any oil into a catch basin for two reasons. I don't want to lose the oil and I don't want to make a mess!



I cracked the alternator cover and (just guessing) dropped about 1/2 to 1 cup of oil on the floor. Surprise! I didn't know it was going to be wet. I also reused the gasket and didn't have any leaks, but I think I just got lucky.
