Default Merry Christmas, lost 1/3 cup of oil no mess no fuss, so sweet...

My remote mount had a small leak (not bad considering all the points where it could have leaked)
Anyway, for those who have suffered through messy painful oil changes thought I'd share two photos. I had to take my relo apart and add some Hylomar(I had one old gasket that wasn't sealing completely), total oil lost maybe 1/3 cup, all ended up in the bag, no fuss, no mess. If the filter had been in it's original location, It would have lost at least one quart, plus made a mess all over, plus I would have had to take the charge pipe and the panzer plate off. Here two screws and slide the bag over... ALL DONE.
