Bolt Dropped Into Oil Channel

[Lan 24 1 Cars]

while working on my car earlier today a nice breeze blew a bolt down into the engine oil channel, the one at the front of the engine that splits into two channels on its way down to the sump, what are the chances of thing bolt making it into the sump?? it was one of the bolts for the water pump btw.

 

thanks

im hoping so, i'm not too bothered if its down there just aslong as its not stuck in the channel and require me to go out and buy another tool to get it

Well if it doesnt, bit of welding rod down the channels to poke it out.
