You need to have the front of the frame verified for straightness. If you just tore out the upper shock mount, that's easy to fix. If you bent the inner fender or distorted the upper shock mount, it will take a frame machine to get it right. Likely the inner fender is crushed too, and the ins

Patrick, I've spent most of my adult life troubleshooting things and the #1 piece of advice I can give you is to stop making any assumptions. You've already assumed you know there isn't a drain (you don't) and that we don't know what we're talking about (I didn't know about the glow plug fuse).
