Q.: What do oilfillercaps do?
A.: Well......

Here is a clue...



Hmm, what would be UNDER the bonnett??




After some cleaning...



What happened?
This morning I was a little short in time, and quickly dropped in some oil and went of to school (100km drive), and totally forgot about the cap!
After 100km I had to stop for a traffic light, and something smelled funny.
After I was done at school, I checked under the hood...
First I saw the oil on the bonnet, opened it and my mind blew away.
Then I had to laugh , checked the oil and after that I washed my hands and went home.
The oil was just over the minimum, had some luck with that today...

Oh what a nice mess to clean up.

I had my oil dipstick pop out once and it did basically the same thing.....it sucked.

Looks like some one shot your motor!! Some kinda horror story thing going on there!

damn... sorry about the mess... but i bet most of us has had a similar experience with oil before... mines was my oil feed line when i did my turbo it got loose and oil was fucking everywhere not a pretty sight...

Oh this is true!! I had a quart of oil open up on my old passenger seat. The seat just soaked it all up, and thats NEVER coming out.

I guess I was lucky then

@ AddictiveAllMotor, how did all that oil get on your passengerseat man, it has to go through the firewall??

welp all that sums up to one word... OWNED! lol that sucks it happens to all of us

I went to the local auto parts store, I was gonna do an oil change on the whip. One of the quarts I picked up wasnt fully sealed, damn thing leaked out on the way home. Live and learn I guess.

Sorry to hear but OWNED!

Did an oil change once and was in a bit of a rush myself...oil gasket wasnt fully/properly tightened >< Started the car up then the fun began...had a nice little puddle of oil underneath the car...haha yeah it happens to us all

the sad thing is ive done this before too, was running late put some oil in forgot the cap then was pissed when i couldnt find my cap shit happens i guess

I had 2 more valvecovers laying around, both with the cap.
But that doesn't do you much good when you're 100km away from them

Hehe, I can remember a loud knock under the car while driving at 140km p/u, I reckoned it was a stone or something, probably the cap on its way to it's new carreer as tire-killer
