[Fot] Oil diapers

Hello Friends,
If just for shits and grins...
I was just under my car checking things and I thought I'd share an easy oil catcher that I came up with a while back.  
I installed two longer bolts to attach safety wire between the the lowest bell housing cover bolts.  I drape a disposable shop towel around the wire and guerrilla tape it to the bell housing. 
The underside of my car has been staying much cleaner and it's not leaving oil drips wherever I park it.
Of course, it is best to not have a leak in the first place, but until I do a tear down, this has worked nicely.  
I also zip tied a shop towel I front of the trans mount to save the mount from oil contamination.
The trans mount on my car was on it when I bought it in 2008 and before then, the car had been sitting for at least 35 years.  It might be original.

Cheers,
Dave H.
