How do I check the level? I don't know of any diptstick down there. Also, I'd only get the steam coming out of the stick when driving on the freeway.

I opened my hood and found I didn't have an oil cap; I added oil the other day and I guess I forgot to put it back on. I'm sure thats what contributed to the smell. All my coolant lines and hoses seem to be fine.
