forgot to put oil cap back on
just wondering if anything could have damaged the motor. it still runs fine but i just noticed that i forgot to put it back on and have been driving it for about a week with it off. there is no oil in the engine bay that splashed out so i am thinking everything will be ok. please help i am stressing.

Yeah, did that once on a piston engine and didn't get far before smelling it. Quickly shut it off and popped the hood. Good thing burning oil on the exhaust allerted me, only lost a bit over a quart. Stupid piston engines anyhow.
