Starbuck Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Well i took my oil cap off over the weekend to replace it with one i was picking up on the weekend. However the cap didn't materialise...... and then other things took over. Having completly forgot about it as i didn't have the replacement i decided to drive 10miles to work before the colour drained from myself on remembering....... oopsNow i have to ask. Other than cleaning it up the best i can and checking the oil (and getting a lift home to get the cap to fit it) Is there anything i should look out for? The belts seem clean and look to have missed the oil onslaught. Quote
Socks Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 altho messy... oil is quite a good substance... it wont damage anything i wouldnt have thought...just get lots of Gunk Foam Action Degreaser or Autoglym Engine & Machine Cleaner and brush it in, then wash off with hose or pressure washer Quote

Although a little bit apprehensive about jetting the engine... Quote
whiteglanzav Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 just becareful of electrical components and do it when the engine is running using as little water as possible so you dont soak everything Quote
