You could pick up a nasty sliver of metal in a brand new tyre in Oldham and 30minutes later your tyre goes flat at 90mph on the M6 outside Preston, yet people fear mending their own punctures....you know....life is dangerous! So the tyre was fitted by a tyre specialist and you picked up the metal sliver on the road outside their workshop.

Sh*t happens! (usually from a horses bum on a blind bend in October)

If a person knows they are a bit useless at hands on mechanical stuff then they should take it to a mechanic thats just common sense....
....but then driving licenses are given to people who are just as useless at driving.....and life goes on! :(

Alan...yes mate....as a fitter do you not think vehicles would be safer if people did their own maintenance rather than not maintain them at all?? I'm just curious about that rather grey area! ;)

Thats just a little oil from the crankcase breathers which lead into the airbox, don't worry about it.
Well done for getting stuck in, now try to avoid the temptation to buy mroe tools!
