Ok so a couple of Mondays ago I topped up my oil and then did something really thick, I forgot to replace the oil cap! Never done this before!
Noticed over the following couple of days a oil smell coming through the vents, only opened the bonnet on the Friday and was greeted by an almighty mess!
I cleaned it all up topped up the oil again (it was half way mark on the dip stick) I'd only done a few miles on the days in between so hoped I hadn't done any damage.
Have noticed however that the temp gauge in the car is wavering, goes up to 90 quite quick then just goes back and forth, tonight however when I got home I let the car sit for a blink with the engine running and the temp went over 90 and the fan kicked in.
Long story short WHAT HAVE I DONE???
