I named a few car parts too-- “bleed nipple” was my favorite-- and I just thought of another:

Also, I find it amusing when garages have signs up that say “We do rear ends,” or “We service rear ends.”
“Rear end” refers to the differential, and other parts of a rear-wheel drive car. Fewer and fewer places keep the tools or parts on hand to do the work on them, as more and more cars are front-wheel drive, so when a place will work on them, they advertise the fact, since it can’t be assumed anymore.
Speaking of cars, I think you blew a seal.
