Default Missing something?

Went outside to add seafoam to oil and noticed this. Isn't there supposed to be something here like a cap or something like that? It's in the back passenger side under the hood. If it is missing something anyone know what that something is?

You can run without it. Maybe just put some vinyl tape over if you feel the need. Want one mailed to you?

They go somewhere just not anywhere near me. Plus they're con artists too. I haven't been to one yet, but my other car buddies complain about them all the time.

Just find a small plastic cap or maybe like the end of a cigar tube or something that'll fit over it and secure it with duct tape. It doesn't retain pressure or anything.

Doesn't that salt air eat 'em up pretty quick? Like Mr. free said get 'em at the parts store for $1-$2.
