This one happened to me just a week ago. I was changing the oil in my 300D for the first time. Everything was going well until I gave one of the bolts on the oil filter housing too much torque and broke it. But even with one side unfastened, I figured what the heck, I'd circulate the oil through the filter.

Well I ran the car for about 30 seconds and ended up with about 3.5 liters of oil on my driveway, which coincidentally is about 10 feet from the well we use for water. D'oh! I had to dig it all out.
