Went to check the oil this morning, and the cap on the oil filler tube
was not attached!!!  Luckily I found it down by the fan and rectified the
situation.

Question - Other than possibly allowing foreign matter into the motor,
would the lack of an oil filler tube cap adversely affect engine
performance in any way?  Just curious.....
