Abstract
The invention is a mechanism for removing a liquid such as oil or transmission fluid from an enclosed cavity of a motor vehicle. The invention includes a tube slidable through the sealing plug of the compartment and a flexible bladder into which one end of the tube can be fit. A shut-off valve in the tube controls the flow of liquid from the compartment to the bladder. The invention optionally includes a simple hand operated pump in the tube and a device to prevent the tube from unintentionally being removed from the plug.
