Driving without occ drain plug
 
So I drained my oil catch can today only to notice that it fell out after about 2 turns and the threads are gone and the bolt is nothing but corrosion. I bought what I thought was the replacement( yes I contacted the manufacturer corksport) but it doesnt fit. Which leads me to believe the threads in the occ are also demolished. Im not asking how to fix this I have that under control. Im asking if this can cause any issues if I drive it with the drain open since I wont be able to fix it until this weekend. I drive about 12 miles a day.

You will have a massive vacuum leak and be running lean. A local ZZB'D a few years back, casually driving on a 1st to 2nd shift after he left his drain open on accident
