Today's mystery object . . .
Retrieved this this morning, wedged between the rear of the engine block and the bodywork.
It's just over an inch long and that little slot thingy goes all the way through.
Any ideas?

Is it part of the tap for bleeding air out of the cooling system?

Mine fell off too, just slide it back up the dipstick, right to the top, and bend the metal tang a bit so it doesn't fall off again.
