    Leaving car outside without flywheel overnight

    So as I took the flywheel off of my M50, and of course, oil started oozing out of the flywheel bolt holes in that nasty way it likes to in that situation. My question is, is it a bad idea to leave it that way, outside, for a few weeks? I'm going to need to have the flywheel resurfaced and all that jazz, and it seems like some condensation may get in there in the meantime. So, I'm just axin'.

      I was thinking more along the lines of just reinstall the flywheel bolts. But I don't want to lift the car up again and get under there if I don't have to.

        your best bet is just to spin the bolts back in by hand until you get your flywheel back

          I'd just put the bolts back in. Not sure if it really matters though.
