When I was working at Shell as a "Petroleum Transfer Technician" I went to help a young lady after she was describing smoke coming from her bonnet, just after leaving another gas station down the road.
I opened it and found the filler cap off, and the entire block covered with oil, it was practically simmering infront of me. Then I found an empty oil container behind the battery.
No sign of the cap anywhere - I guessed it was the idiot at the other station, must have closed the lid with the container half full sitting on the engine.

Who knows why he/she didnt see it.
