I can somwhat relate. On my first oil change on my SC I put the sump plate back on wrong. That caused the oil to not get picked up so the crankcase started filling up, the oil didn't go throught the cooler, the crankcase over pressurized, the temp got way too high and I was puking oil all over the place. When I pulled back in the garage I thought the thing was going to burn to the ground there was so much smoke. Real smart pulling it into the garage, huh? I could have burnt down the house as well!
I have learned that the car HAS to be at normal operating temp and running at idle to get an accurate reading on the dipstick. Just running it for a couple of minutes won't do the trick. You'll over fill it every time.
Good luck on finding the cap. It's probably in the engine bay somewhere.
Hope tomorrow goes better for you!
