_All_ fluids? There are a couple of fluid reservoirs I wouldn't trust.
1. Car battery
2. Windshield washer bottle
3. Brake/clutch master reservoir.
4. The PCV breather system and oil system gaskets in general.
While you can argue that pulling a corner at 1.0 G (all our Tigers do that,
right?) will pull the fluid up the reservoir walls to the same extent as tilting
the car on its side by 45 degrees, typically you don't spend an hour (or a week)
doing this, and any odd capillary effects don't have time to establish
themselves. And there's a big difference between getting the odd drop of
something glorped onto the body, and having a nice steady drip of it over a
period of hours/days.
