About 20 yrs ago, I had to fly out to New Mexico to reposess a 924 and drive it back to NYC. Trip took about 34 hrs of straight driving. Making a late night stop at a gas station, I checked the oil and noticed the exhaust manifold was glowing red/orange hot. If it was my car, I would have been worried but as it was, I was a repoman in a repocar and the car was now the bank's problem. Plus I was in a rush so I topped off the oil but I forgot to put the oil fill cap back on. About an hour later someone passes me screaming something about smoke so I pull over, open the hood and everything is covered in oil, manifold still glowing red hot, but thankfully nothing was on fire. Oil cap was exactly where I left it, put it back on and kept going. Got more oil at the next station.
