Default $20 to the first person who can...

$20 to the first person who can find the oil cap that is sitting somewhere in my engine bay and rattling when I drive. I'm guessing it's somewhere between the engine and the firewall, maybe sitting on top of the transmission housing.

I can't see the cap or feel it from the top or bottom of the car.

check on top of the transmission tunnel. I remember reading a while back about someone having a similar problem and found it on top of the transmission.
