well i had a lucky find... i parked my GU across the drive way, which i never do as i normally park on the grass when i am home, and when i walked out there i noticed a "damp"
spot under the car.
had a look and realized that there was oil leaking from under the sump..
took the car around to me shed, tarp on the ground for me to lay on. slid under and put my hands on to the sump plug. you guessed it, about a 1/4 turn and it came off...
lucky for quick reflexes i caught it and shoved it back on before i lost to much oil.
so happy that i spotted this as a couple of days later ( today ) i had to drive to perth ( 600k trip from where i live )
would not have been happy if it fell off during the trip ( oh i do give my car a good look over before i leave each time ).
worse could have happened as when i went home i took a back way to check out some tracks and possible over night staying spots...
so i will be having a chat to my friendly mechanic next time i see him.....
