I took here for a little drive today. All things fine. I have notice a bit of oil drips over the past few months so after the drive I popped the hood. Seems as though I forgot to put the oil cap back on. It was where I left it. The deck lid kept it in place.

I figured maybe the oil would have sprayed a bit but I didn't see anything and the level was fine.

Not sure how bad that could have been but I am sure it wasn't good.

Ever avoid catastrophe by being lucky?
