Hi,

My husbands oil cap blew and the oil is all over the engine and the whole inside of the car parts.

Besides buying a new cap, what else do we need to do.
The car is running fine, there is only exhaust smells coming into the car when you put the fan or air conditioner on.

The car is not having any other problems.

Thank you,

Brenda

Just replace the oil cap (if it's damaged) and get an engine shampoo to clean up the engine bay.
