I was checking the oil/coolant since it's been at least 2 wks (when I got the car in Oct. I checked 2X per day lol), both are fine, oil seems clean for 1,500 mi.

Cleaning out some leaves lodged near the condenser, and found a loose nut? Used a magnet to get it out.



Wonder what it's from...... would kind of s*** if somoeone says, that's for one of the two bolts that supports the radiator...

could be road debris.

Possibly....because there were dried leaves in there, and that's where I came across the nut while removing the leaves....oddly the opening is too small for the nut to get in there easily, or come out for that matter. I almost thought it was holding an a/c line in place the way it was lodged...

My guess would be road debris as well. Im assuming you checked all the bolts on the front accessories, brackets etc? Looks old and rusty like its been outside for a long time.

One of the nuts that hold the hood latch assembly on? I guess figure out the size of the nut and we'll go from there. Or it could be FOD from the road...

Must be a guy missing that "nut" out in FLA. Poor fella, his pair is now no more. May they RIP.

I wonder if a golf cart at the Naples Country Club lost it....(I joke about Naples a lot just cuz the LS is from there, but my buddy said everyone is happy there and friendly--his theory is they are rich, on vacation, or retired and happy--never been there, maybe will next time we go to Tampa)
