Around 7.30 am, and even without breakfast, the priority was to check how much oil had i lost. Looking to the engine compartment i was afraid of much worst, but in fact not that much oil was spilled. Therefore, i could say that i had some luck, but i prefer to see it in the way that i was stupid not to have solved this problem before starting the trip. Since i bought the car, that this piece was always loose, so it was only a matter of time until i lost it. Good that it was in Poland.To get to a shop, my sollution was to use a plastic bag with tape around it. It worked perfectly, mainly because i only needed to do 3km to find a place where to buy a cover for the oil compartment. The man told me that he had it for this Fiat (i would be surprised if i was not able to find this for a car that sold 3 million units in Poland), in fact it was very similar, but when i tried to put it, it simply didnt close well.
Went to the shop again, asked the man to come and see my car, he saw that in fact it didnt close but he didnt had anything different. Decided to buy an extra-one in case i lost this again (it was around 1.5€ each), used a plier to force it to stay as stable as possible, and on the top, again some tape to help reduce the vibrations. Problem solved, for the rest of the trip, though i was checking always the oil more often than i expected.
