Hey Guys,
Forgive me for not knowing anything about cars, but I have a problem I really need some advice on.
My girlfriend lost the oil cap on her 1995 Honda Civic last week. When I noticed the leaking oil and the missing cap, I sealed the hole with tinfoil and tape so she could drive a few days until I got a new cap.
Well, yesterday we got the new cap and when I went to put it on a pieces of tinfoil (small crunched up balls of it...probably 1 cm diameter) fell in. I don't know the correct name for what it fell in to (the same place you pour the oil when you're low). Two of the pieces just sat close to the top and I managed to get them out with my finger, but one (maybe more) fell into this small hole (again sorry for not knowing the name...but it seems that is where the oil flows when you pour it in). I can see it a bit by looking down with a flashlight, but haven't been able to get it out. The car hasn't been started since then.
My questions are: What would be your advice on getting the piece(s) out? If I dont manage to get it out and they stay in there could this cause any problems?
Thanks a lot
