How bad is this?
Well i changed my oil the other day. I guess i forgot to put on my oil cap. I drove it like that for about 2 days untill yesterday i started to smell something wierd. I don't know if its coming from my car but i think it is. Anyways i noticed the cap was off when i popped my hood. How bad is this? Also do you think the smell could be related to the cap being off. Because i put the cap back on last night and today when i got to work i could still smell whatever it is. Its not coming from my engine. I could smell it more towards the back of the car. Let me know what you think.

I did this 3 times to my old car , lol. Just put more oil in, clean the engine up and everthing will be fine. I actually drove from st. louis to kansas city and back, without an oil cap on or oil. GO TOYOTA.

well i didnt have this problem, but the person who owned the car before me, i guess he did, cause i was snooping around my engine, and behind it i found a melted oil cap, well partally melted... could still read the top, i kept it, its cool

I don't think i'm gonna change it. The hood was closed the whole time with it off so i don't think anything got in there. But while i was looking in my engine bay yesterday to try and find the wierd smell i noticed 2 screwdrivers sitting in there. My Dumb friend left them in there. Luckily they didn't hit something. Or at least i hope they didn't hit anything.
