Thanks for the idea Frank. I`m in the midst or replacing the seals in the tilt cylinder on my forklift. The container I used when I redid the other side got repurposed and I was wondering what to use to contain the oil out of this one. I have a bunch of different size I-beam and I think I will cut an appropriate size and cap the ends and make a trough. This one is turning out to be a PIA like the other side. The pin that holds the cylinder is frozen into the flange in the forklift like the other side was. That one took me three days before I finally got it out by burning the inside out of with a cutting torch. Wish me luck on this one, lol.
