Where does it go, into another dimension?
Mark what it comes down to is those diapers do not fit that tight on a S/G car. If you had one you would know it well.
If you have one on a motor there are lots of places for water to go.
Put a bunch of marbles in a jar and it looks full.
You can add sand to it and it fills all the gaps and it again looks full.
You can then add water and and you will be surprised how much water will go into that same marble and sand filled jar.
It happened I can assure you.
It was comical and like I said you had to be there to appreciate it.
