Seafoam leaking, colleccting under car?

Hey everyone, I just tried my first de-carb of the rotary engine, I did the vacuum method. I noticed as the engine sucked up the seafoam, it was spilling out underneath the car.

What's going on, is my engine gone?

There are only so many places it can come from. I think you should stop working on your car yourself.

If it is being pulled into a vac line and leaking on the ground...you either have a hole in the tube you are using to suck it in...or you have a huge leak in the intake manifold gasket where it is leaking out....or you are missing a spark plug . Think you need to have a good look around
