so yesterday i changed my oil cause i needed to i put on almost 2000 miles in a couple weeks well when i got home i was still about half a quart low so i went and put it in well i guess i forgot to tighten the oil cap and it fell off when i started my truck and left this morning about halfay to school my truck started smelling and i thought it was the truck infront of me. Unfortunatly when i got to school i had smoke and a bad smell coming out of my truck yea fun. So i went and got my dad who happens to be the insistent directer at the college and he check up on it for me and went and found the cap in our driveway at the house. Luckily i did not fry or sieze up the engine and it was fine. Unfortunatly i ended up with oil all over my engine bay. So remember always double check and make sure what every you do is correctly finished!!
