...and it def. saved my butt today. Evidently when I changed the oil 1,500 miles ago I didn't tighten the filter enough. The oil dripping down onto the exhaust piping made smoke which I saw rising from under the hood. I had only lost about a quart, but still glad I saw it when I did. Might be a PITA for a clean oil change but I really don't mind it after today...




I had that happen to me some time ago. I was driving and it was in the city and then I see smoke coming from the hood, and thought, hmm? I go home and look under and didn't notice anything too out of place. I then realized I did an oil change not too long ago and drove to my father's house where he has the tools and checked and tightened the filter.

Just as you said, not too bad at all.
