Poured seafoam into vacuum pump like an idiot
Hi guys, I messed up and poured seafoam into the vacuum pump. I'm just looking for advice on what I should do or how I can minimize any damage I've done. I'm pretty sure there's a ticking noise coming from the pump now. Van drives fine. Thanks for any replies!

You're talking about the vacuum pump on the passenger wheel well correct? Just in front of the blower motor? It has a plug and a couple hoses, 1 horseshoes back to the pump and the other goes to the tank right next to it, behind the passenger battery. Are we talking about the same pump?

There is no fluid in the vacuum pump system.

Hi all,
So my e350 is similar to an OBS vacuum belt driven pump. It is on the driver side and I believe it mounts to the engine and has no other lines other than the vacuum hose that goes to the brake booster. I poured the seafoam through that vacuum. I don't believe it has a way to get into the crankcase from that hose. I will try to suck out any extra fluid that is in the pump. Thanks for all the replies so far!

Umm while I agree this was a bad idea. The vacuum pump isn't even connected to the engine functions at all. Your not going to get it in the fuel or oil......
