lost bolt at base of dipstick... ok ?

[epoxy_nc]

damn it. i lost the bolt to the block that goes to a coolant line (from turbo)

it fell down at the base of the dip stick. i cant get it either.. cant even feel it and there is no way it will drop. will it damage anything if i start it?

and where can i get some new ones? i cant find them anywhere in town. :12dunno

Jack up your car and reach from below. As for getting a new bolt, doesn't your city have a hardware store or are you that far out in the sticks?

i cant get it it from under. it feel at thebase of the dipstick. way down there.

i just need to know if it will mess anything up if i start the car with it down there (supposing i got a new one and everything back to normal)
(its the bolt that goes into the banjo BTW)

nah..it's a big city, they just dont have the right size. it's the one that is slightly smaller then the other 2

Why not get one of those telescoping magnets? Can't remember the "official name"... it's the size of a pen with a magnet on the end, opens up like a radio antenna... shouldn't that work?
