i'm also not too familiar with the TL IM construction, but make sure you put some papertowels down in there in the outlets to the chambers to soak up the liquid.

see the 6 small holes in your 2nd pic. Those are what gets clogged and need to be cleaned. You will want to remove the intake (very easy 11 bolts) and a few hoses and wires) t o clean it properly
