Magnetic pick-up tool is the way to go, like kenchan suggested. Everybody needs one sooner or later.

Flip the car upside down and give it a vigorous shake. That should do it!

Installing my intakes, we knocked the cap from the washer fluid bottle (not my reservoir thankfully) into the engine bay.

I love my washer fluid bottle cap mod. It's an extra 15 hp.
