1989 Plymouth Reliant 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

A small round black cap came off the side of the engine, its at the end of the engine on drivers side. And most of the oil sprayed out. I found the cap and put it back on, but was wondering why it came off and I can't tell what holds the cap on. Is it something that happens alot with this 2.2 (because I just got the car) or is it nothing to worry about?

Hi:
The cap covers the end of the cam / bearing. I believe they are held in with a sealant. If it is staying in for you, it will be fine. However, check it from time to time until you feel confident it is going to stay.
