Had the engine oil drain plug fall out of the Bobcat engine once.
It had an oil leak for years, could not determine where it was leaking. Didn't know there was an oil plug, it has a capped hose you let down to drain the oil.
One day it was being run by a very novice operator, he was mostly just playing around using the bucket for a power wheel barrow. He happened to get off and saw the oil trail, stopped before any damage was done.
I was preparing to pull the engine to find the leak, got to looking, loosened the mounts and lifted the engine just barely enough to see the missing plug. It was laying there in the dirt on top of the frame. I think it had been left loose by the last person that worked on the engine.
I was able to retrieve it, clean it up and just get it back in. It tightened up, all was well!
