Some sort of metal cap fell off from the engine! Big Pics!

aeroes · 01-22-2007, 07:49 PM

Hi guys, I need your help badly! I open up my hood today to fill some windshield washer fluid and to my surprise I found a metal cap that is obviously came off from the engine, its sits right beside the radiator on the left side if facing the car. I dont know how long its been sitting there. Do you guys know what kind of problem am I going to have with this? No lights or warning on the dashboard so hopefully its not a big problem.

Pic of the cap.

By the way the car is LX sedan.

Thank you in advance!

Starboard power coupling.

You opened your hood...not your trunk lol

Looks like a plug of some kind with a crush washer.

check your power band fluid. sometimes the power band booster fill plug falls off.

LOL! you're right! Sorry for the mistakes!:)

I'll make a trip to the dealership today and see what they can do.

looks like the tranmission plug.

You'd better check your blinker fluid level immediately.

j/k, I have no idea where that thing goes.

kero · 01-23-2007, 10:26 AM

It really looks like the oil pan drain bolt as I don't know of any others that have a crush washer.

ajrich · 01-23-2007, 10:33 AM

Oil pan bolt is longer than that bolt and isn't hollow like that one is in the middle.

BLU BY U · 01-23-2007, 12:45 PM

its something off the tranny, probably a fill plug.

I'd definately check the filler port on the transmission, if it's not that then it may not have come from your car. If you brought it to the dealer maybe the tech dropped it down there from your car or someone elses and then had to go grab a spare from the parts dept.

I'm sure you'd know by now if the engine oil drain plug or the transmission drain plug came out, but the trans can live without the filler plug till too much of the fluid sloshes and sprays out.

Looks like the fill bolt on the tranny to me.

Kakashi · 01-23-2007, 02:10 PM

Is that your final answer?

***Janizary*** · 01-23-2007, 02:36 PM

Ventral plasma injector.

stevieray · 01-23-2007, 02:41 PM

That's the plug for the Dilithium crystals fill port. It's made from Unobtainium.

***Zeuceone*** · 01-23-2007, 02:55 PM

it might be the reason why your flux capacitator is not working
