Closed hood left washer bottle cap up, it's dissapeared!

Yep, dropped the hood closed, and parked. I noticed washer fluid spilling out the bottom, popped the hood, and the cap is gone. Disappeared. Vanished. It had to have shot into the engine bay due to the hood closing on it. I can't find it anywhere under the hood, skid plates, etc.
Has anyone else done this and found it?

Spoiler: FOUND IT

 

....

Go to an auto parts store, eBay, Amazon, Craigslist, or one of the many online Toyota dealership stores and buy a replacement.

 

I have dropped plenty in the engine bay: random bolts, zip ties, sockets, you name it, I've dropped it.

50% of the time I find it on the skid plate. 30% of the time I find it on the wheel well. 20% of the time it disappears into the blackhole as a sacrifice to the Toyota gods.

 

I think I know who took it

 

Ooooh boy…

 

Hey at least you didn’t pour washer fluid in your coolant reservoir.

 

I had a guy pour straight vinegar into his washer reservoir thinking it would unclog the lines. Took out the little plastic pump

 

The sensible solution is clearly to cut your fenderwells for 37s and relocate the washer fluid reservoir.

 

Might be stuck on the underside of your hood,look up

 

I bet he doesn't have the reservoir cap flying off:

 

Have you looked in the refrigerator?

 

Dang, what the chances?! I was so happy to find an extra one on East Rainbow Boulevard this morning!

 

I did leave my keys inside microwave one evening.

 

I know that I can do that.

I am more curious about where it went and if anyone else has had the same situation happen.

 

Every used vehicle I have bought I have found tools, money, etc!

Sacrificed

 

I have not drained the transmission pan and added 6 quarts of oil into the engine. As I am getting ready to do a 60k..
