Bolt identification
Hi there,
I was doing an oil change on my 2009 Yaris Hatchback (Auto) recently. This was my third time doing it. I completed the change successfully in the end. However, when I first went under the car, in a moment of madness I loosened the wrong bolt. The one in question was a silver bolt directly next to the oil filter. It must have been the same size, because it fit the same socket. Upon loosening it, there was a liquidy bubbling, a release of some oil, and a chemical smell. I realized my mistake within a few seconds and closed it again, but I wanted to figure out what exactly I did and whether it could be a problem. There was a noticeable amount of oil in the catch pan, but not a large amount by motor oil standards. I tried to find a diagram online or something to identify it, but I haven't been able to. The manual doesn't seem to have that level of detail either. If anyone could tell me what I opened, I'd very much appreciate it. Thanks! |
