When we got there, I thought I faintly smelled oil so I looked under the hood. Did not see anything but noticed an indentation in the hood pad, and saw the valve cover cap sitting on the top of the air cleaner. Checked oil, had not lost much, and we drove that car more a few more years with no issues. Unrelated, but we stuck a ZZ3 crate motor in it in the early 1990's and had a blast with that car.

Awesome! Those cars are sick! I remember seeing them at car shows when my folks would take me.
