High School. I was rushing to finish tuning up my 86 900S so that I could drive it that evening. I placed a funnel in the dip oil fill tube and began adding oil. After carefully adding the last of the 4.2 quarts, I noticed all of this fresh oil by my feet. I thought "Jesus, am I an idiot! I left the drain plug out!" I looked to see if I had failed to re-install the drain plug. It was there, tight and properly torked. I noticed that oil was dripping from the DS area near the cluth. I looked in that area, and immediatly realized what I had done. I poured the last few quarts of oil into the air filter intake. On that car the intake looked much like my black funnel I was using to fill the engine. Moral of this story: take your time.
