The last few days up here in the north west have been pretty cold,so yesterday morning I decided to go and start both cars to let them warm up.While they were warming up it was time to remove some snow that had accumulated over night on both cars...All of a sudden I notice a large puddle under the 123,at first I thought it would have been water from melting snow.then I approached and immediately noticed that it was engine oil   I didn't even know if I had enough time to run around the car and shut the ignition off....But I did. And this is what I found being the culprit... The stud holding the oil filter lid in place unscrewed it self letting all of the oil out of the engine!And it only took a couple of minutes.Damn was I lucky or not.I have ordered a new nut and stud and will replace it all tomorrow on my day off. And will also be buying a new tube of RED lock tight.
