Narrative:
The first officer was making the takeoff. Flex power was applied for takeoff and prior to 80 KTS an ECAM 'idg #2 low oil pressure' appeared. I took control and aborted the takeoff. Informed the tower and rolled off the runway. Proceeded to the gate. Brakes were slightly hot 320 degrees. Contacted maintenance control and dispatch. The local mechanic arrived and investigated. Found #2 engine idg was low on oil and the bottom plug of the tank was wrongly installed. Creating a leak. Oil was svced and engine run-up accomplished. No leaks were observed. Wheel inspection was accomplished for hot brakes. Got new mrd. Refueled to fpf dispatched fuel. Departed about 2 hours late with no further incidents.
