...too much with excess flowing into the fan motor or onto electronics gets ugly.

Guess what I did this morning? LOL! Yep, managed to overfill the reservoir and get fluid into the fan. That was a heck of a mess to clean up!

Welcome to the club; everyone on the forum knows I am the destructor of smoke units - too much or too little fluid - ruined 3 in a Big Boy - either starved them or flooded onto the RCMC; I have been experimenting with adding 1 drop of fluid per 1 minute of running usually after at least 10 minutes of running + 2. I always add when the unit is cold. I keep in mind that the funnels and resistor suck up some of the fluid when doing a fill.
