55k engine - need help with supercharger drain screw!!!

Was changing the supercharger oil yesterday and dont even ask how the mechanic managed it, but despite all the tissues under there he still managed to drop the little screw into the bowels on the engine bay.

Does anyone know if a replacement fill screw is available and what part number i should be asking for?

Or is there an alternative coz the cars been stranded since last night.

Thanks.

the screw is not available separately.

you can either try to match it via trial and error or... ask nicely your mechanic to fish out the old screw.

He's been trying since last night but quite too sure where on earth it could have gone.

Funny thing is, i dropped a 5p coin in exactly the same place he says he dropped the screw and that never came out of the bottom, but we cant find that either.
