Default Accidently drove the car without the radiator cap on.
Well last night i refilled my radiator fluid and i was called inside and i forgot to put the cap on. So i was driving to work and seen smoke coming from under the hood. That's no good. So i look and the temp gauge didn't go up so i risked it and drove back home. I probably drove about 6-7 miles total. Could i have caused any damage? It still had ample fluid and it didn't over heat. Just wondering.
