    Found out why I had an oil leak.....



    Well this isn't good....I tried to change my oil and this just popped right off..... Should I just buy a used one or is there a good aftermarket option I should look into?

    Holy crap. You ought to be glad it didnt pop off going down the road with out you knowing it. That would have been really bad. I would buy a used one if you can find one available. What is it off of?
