R56 Annoying oil mess
#2
Dude that’s is annoying. Got one better, so I left mini’s on the Dragon 2 days early with my tail tucked between my legs, had a chat with a ditch and spent the whole first day of Motd getting her back together. So day before I leave I check all my fluids, but forgot to tighten my oil cap. So Friday I leave at 8am and get to the ky boarder around 10 am. Pull into the rest stop and smell the oil. Low and behold oil cover damn near everything, spent an hour cleaning it all up, luckily I had my tools so I could tear what I could. So I clean it up the best I can, check my oil and only have to add 1/4 quart. Next day some super clean foam and the car wash. I put a trash bag over Fuses and computer, stock intake was on, foamed it down, scrubbed with detail brush, rinsed of with lowest water pressure setting they had. Then drove it home as gently as possible and let it dry for a day. If I had power in my car port I would have used my leaf blower to help speed it along.
