What they did after I rolled was 1) help me out and make sure I was ok. 2)
turn the
Jeep back over on its wheels. 3) pull the plugs and crank it over and
blow the oil
out. 4) verify what fluids leaked and that it was only because I was on
my side at
that point. I would have been ok at that point, except for the fact that
it broke
the seal on the radiator and we had to keep putting water in it every
little while.
Oh, and 5) pull the fenders out where they were smashed into the tires,
and 6) pull
all the crap that spilled out of the Jeep back in it. Took months to find
all the
tools that had been in the glove box, as the all fell into the area under
the dash. I
blew blue smoke for a good part of the day too.
How much you need to do depends on if it was a true roll, what side you
laneded on,
how long it was over for, etc. A gentle flop on your side doesnt require
much. A
full on wheels in the air can be pretty bad on the engine.
