I'm so clumsy! HELP!
I was going under the hood of the TL, checking a few things. I unscrewed the engine oil fill cap and I dropped it! It fell somewhere under the hood but I can't find it. I can't find it and my parents are going to kill me. I'll have to buy a replacement if I can't find it but can I still drive the TL without the oil cap? Solutions are welcomed.
Thanks!
Thanks!

No but seriously, it should not be hard finding an oil cap. They even have aftermarket ones.

it's probably on top of the front splash shield or under the radiator. spend a little time, you should be able to find it.

Yup I found it! 
It was on some plastic platform next to the sub-frame under the driver side. It was a hard reach due to me fat hand and arm but I eventually got it. And yes, I had started the car and moved it a little to check if it was under. Any damage done? I went around the block a few times and everything was fine. 
I had also covered it with plastic and a rubber band so dust couldn't get in and scratch my cylinders. When I started the car, nothing irregular happened.
