Hoist blew a seal....
You can refill it with hydrolic oil (about 10w).
It will probably hold long enough to hoist another motor,
but DO not trust it. I wouldnt go anywheres underneath the motor.
And dont tell me you left your other motor hanging on the hoist overnight.
That would be downright stupid, and a violation of federal treaties.

suxors, we had a lift go out on us mid swap
we ended up setting the front end of the car on the ground, and hand lifting it over the radiator suppor (4 burly guys)

AutoZone doesn't rent hoists (I tried last week). Find where the oil leaked from, if it's not at the piston, refill it and seal it, or borrow a different hoist.
