Oil spilled while filling up.

Ran the car through the cones around the track, etc. a few days later I started to smell something burning, I probably didn't notice it too much in the beginning because I like to drive with my windows down. So I'm getting gas and I think I should probably open the hood to see what that smell is. Wow!!! oil F*%N everywhere It was spraying out of the hole in a fine mist and was all over the motor and on the bottom of the hood, amazingly It was still at the low setting on the dipstick, so I only lost about a quart and a half. My oil cap was resting in a spot in the engine bay, so at least I didn't loose that too.
