Sump drain bolt loose

Hey folks,

Well I'm up to 11,000 miles in about 7 months.

Thanks to the rain today, I noticed a little pool of oil under my engine.

Checked the sump plug and it was loose. Bash plate was caked in oil and scum too.
Seems I've lost about 350ml of oil, I reckon, judging by the dipstick.

I've done it up finger-tight and then a little nip up (1/4 turn) with a spanner.


How did this come loose?

Got my 12K service coming up so I'll bring it to their attention, anyway.
