Did you change your oil yourself? Or did someone else do it?

I changed it like 2000 miles ago.

my sister has a mazda 3 and not too long ago she brought it in to gett he oil changed. Well the kid that did it forgot to put the cap back on and she drove around for a week with oil leaking all over. She thought it was tree sap or something and just kept washing it off. When she brought it back they messed up again and forgot to either plug something or tighten something. This is a dealer she goes to.

That is so weird...I've never heard of an oil cap just falling off. What could break it? Well I'm sorry to say this, but check Ebay.

Problem solved, autozone had the oem cap for $4.

Good, a happy ending.

Coulda been worse. Coulda been you left your gas cap at the gas station, and they SELL it back to you.

if it happens again and/or you notice your dipstick popping up that's BAD news.
