Default Searched: VTEC Solenoid, how much oil will leak out when removed?

I don't want to remove the rest of my solenoid if it's just going to spill out tons of oil that I just now put in it. I Should have done everything before hand, but oh well, how much oil should I expect to lose? And how much will I have to fill up?

Thanks for anything

Probably not even that much. You might not even have to top the oil off.

Yea, about a 1/4 of oil was lost. No problem, solenoid was clean
