What is this screw?

[Eric6014]

I was replacing my coolant temp sensor today and when I was cleaning up the coolant I spilled I found this screw sitting on top of my transmission...

Anyone know where it might be from?

Sort of looks like one that I had a hard time removing on the vacuum pump in this thread:

The threads are too coarse. That screw looks like is just fastens one of the plastic covers like the wheel well and belly pan. I wouldn't worry about it.

Oh, good call. I was only looking at the head. It does sort of look like the wheel well screws now that you mention it.

It's got a sharp end so that makes sense.

Yep, that's one of the million of those that holds fender liners, bumper, etc.
