Absolutely, I see this happen ALL the time. I am a tech. - eMKay (Game On!) 2008-10-10 14:52:16 (19 views)

why would you drive with a loose drain plug? you would have a serious oil leak... - Kenny 2008-10-10 14:52:03 (19 views)

Supposedly 'cause you think the oil on your garage floor is from your GF's car. - PhoenixGTS 2008-10-10 14:55:02 (18 views)

Well then crawl under there and check it, you would be surprised how often it happens... - eMKay (Game On!) 2008-10-10 14:57:15 (34 views)

I had an opposite problem... grease monkey overtorqued the lug nut - Kenny 2008-10-10 14:58:36 (54 views)

I see that too, but not nearly as often. Both makes I work on use gaskets, so that helps prevent it. - eMKay (Game On!) 2008-10-10 15:00:43 (14 views)
