Talmud for Zevachim 8:9

הַנִּתָּנִין לְמַטָּה שֶׁנִּתְעָרְבוּ בַנִּתָּנִין לְמַעְלָה, רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, יִתֵּן לְמַעְלָה, וְרוֹאֶה אֲנִי אֶת הַתַּחְתּוֹנִים לְמַעְלָה כְּאִלּוּ הֵן מַיִם, וְיַחֲזֹר וְיִתֵּן לְמָטָּה. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, יִשָּׁפְכוּ לָאַמָּה. וְאִם לֹא נִמְלַךְ וְנָתַן, כָּשֵׁר:

[If] blood [that should be] applied below [the altar's midpoint] became mixed with blood [that should be] applied above [the altar's midpoint], Rabbi Eliezer says: They should all be applied above, and I consider the blood that should be applied below as if it were water; and then he should repeat a [second] application below. And the Sages say they must be poured out into the drain. But if [the priest] did not consult and applied the blood [mixture] it is valid.
