One other issue here here is the street runoff is pumped directly into the ocean, so even proper oil changes with no spills you can get fined for. One poor guy dropped a 1 gallon can paint and 5 different agencies all responded. So any protection I do will have to be away from my house.

We have the same problem here we run 2 big dehumidifiers in our house and run them a lot and it's crazy how much water they can collect in just a few hours. Also our city storm water system does the exact same thing and they have been known to throw big time fines out as well. This is why I spray it down on a tarp to catch all the run off so no mess but I still do it the privacy of my garage so not to upset the neighbors.

P.S. Don't forget the respirator and eye protection if you're using that boiled linseed oil as a spray.

I never spray the exhaust but it always tends to get on it any way and I think it's going to torch my truck but it just smells and burns off it! So far lol.... I also use a bug sprayer this keeps it far away from my face plus you can stick it in holes in the frame and up the sides of the body to get really good coverage. Also if you don't clean out the sprayer you can chunk it because once the linseed oil sets the sprayer is toast.
Thanks for the mention of the eye protection and respirator I forgot to mention that part!
