[Roadsters] Oops - dropped a washer . . .

[Fred Katz]

If your oil drain plug is magnetic, it may catch and hold the washer. If not, well we know what can happen. Perhaps you can use one of those cameras on a flexible snake, they run between $50 to $100. Position the camera end of the snake down into the innards, and view it on the handheld monitor. I have found these snake cameras very useful. It may enable you to see where the washer landed. Getting it out is a different matter. Good luck.
