<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Visionz @ Oct 2 2008, 08:22 AM) </div><div class='quotemain'>So, last night....I leave work, get in the car, turn it on, and start hearing the lovely HLA tick that the tiburons are notorious for. It wasnt cold, so it didnt have anything to do with the weather. The noise continued all the way until I got home. Pulled in the garage, opened the hood, and what do I see? My freaking oil cap is missing and oil is splattered all over my engine. I checked my oil level on the dipstick, and there was next to nothing in the engine. No idea how this happened. I did have an aftermarket one installed, but it was on there pretty good and tight. And I havent been to a mechanic anytime lately, so it wasnt someone who forgot to tighten it back on.

So in a frantic rush to find my OEM cap, I looked everywhere and couldnt find anything. So, filled the engine back up with some new oil, and stuck a rag (sticking out the top of it) in the hole to provide any more oil from splattering all over. I called the dealer, and a bunch of auto part stores, and no one has anything available. I have to order it and the earliest I found that anyone would have anything is Monday of next week! God damnt!!!

So now I have to drive around with no oil cap and a rag plugging the hole through out the weekend until a new cap comes in. I'm glad theres a group buy going on at RDT for new aftermarket caps, because it couldnt of happened at a better time. tongue.gif huh.gif</div>


i remember one time, i was a klutz and changed my LC's oil 3 years ago when it was virgin stock, i didn't tighten the drain plug tight,

i'm glad it happened when i parked the car if i'd heard "dieseling", i'd been screwed..thank god for the oil light
