...Lets just face it.... your engine is upset at you for not getting that BB turbo, and those new injectors.... just consider this a warning.... :-D

Looked at the picture close.... It looks like you had a fire.... get enough oil... on a HOT day, and the temps are just rite on the inside with a bit of o2. I noticed the discoloration of the metal underneath the cap, has the genuine appearance of heat stress.

It's the rodents
I left a plastic gas can outside with an old oil/gas mixture in it (2 stoke gas) and rodents chewed the yellow cap of it as far as they could. I thought it was a fluke until now, I think that there are rodents out there that have a thing for gas and oil. . .

WTF??? Mine has an edge chipped off just like that!! It has always been in its place but I just ass-u-med I had dropped it, put it back on & never saw the chip.
Very strange....

ive seen alot of caps that have holes in them not half as bad as that one but looks like something just poked holes in it or like a rat chewed it up. but never seen one look like that i thought it was due to heat and chemicals under the hood. but that was just my thoughts

both my trucks have chipping/discoloring/wasting away oil caps. figured its was just heat and age breaking down the plastic. Guess I should replace them. Anyone have a coll billet oil cap or something other than stock?

Get you a billet cover for the oil filler cap and never look back.
