Oil Cap Problem...

[roxxxstr]

So I put a quart of oil in the M5 and forgot to put the oil cap back on before driving 10 miles. When I got to my destination the whole hood was smoking so I opened it up to find oil everywhere, all over my motor. I put the cap back on but I'm wondering if this could cause any damage? Also, any recommendations for cleaning the oil off the motor?? :confused:

Check your oil level and top it off make sure you cover it with the cap this time:D... There should be any damage as our engines are pretty sealed as far as cleaning it, I would pm Mike forum sponsor from Promobile detail and get an expert to clean it, he knows he's stuff...

Thanks Chris. I hope I didn't cause any damage to the motor or any of the plastics surrounding the motor....... :o
