So I removed the drain screw, drained the oil, cleaned the drain screw & put a new crusher washer on it in the correct orientation, re-installed the drain screw & tightened to required 30 Nm. I then slowly poured the oil back into the engine using the oil fill port. (Note: I didn't want to remove the oil filter for pouring the oil back into the engine. No need to waste an oil filter.) Started Coupe & checked for leaks. None found, so I started gathering up tools & putting stuff away.
I'm glad that it wasn't anything major.
The splash shield looks pretty good! I might have to follow your lead and paint mine.
