Ok so not all of them, and clean up them dirty minds! ha-ha I was just goofing around under the hood of my 03 Viper and noticed one of the nuts under my PV's where the exhaust bolts up is missing and there appears to be a small oil leak there. Anyone know where i can score a new nut? just take another one off and head to Napa or Schucks? Also as i am new to the Viper where would this oil be coming from? The PV above this missing nut is also a tad wet. I will try to get a picture up to better describe it.

you can probably get the nut from your belly pan. lol the oil is just coming from the gas/oil mixture in the cyl when running, same stuff that gums up your powervalve

get a magnet out and fish around the belly. If you still can't find it, I know my local hardware store carries the hat nuts like those.
