so when you give it gas....

make sure the oil cap is on, if not the oil will shoot straight up on the hood by the passanger side area

I know this because a long time ago I was checking the oil and was tapping it off just a hair and I had to remove the oil cap to add a little bit more oil.

then went for a long drive and on the way back I went to fill her up again and checked the oil and saw the oil cap laying on the engine

, was so lucky it didn't fall. it lost about 1/2 of quart of oil and it had oil on top of the hood by the pasanger side area.
I drove all the way from Knoxville to Atlanta with no oil cap I was lucky I didn't blow the motor then get a MR20

HAHA I did this once too... I was like 14 and had changed the oil in my dads car about a week before. At the time he was driving a diesel Jetta. One morning it wouldn't start, so he took a different car to work. I was like sure I will take a look, and popped the hood, then saw that I forgot the oil filler cap. I instantly panicked and thought I wrecked the engine. Which of course was false, turned out to be a bad fuel pump, but I haven't forgotten to put the filler cap on since
