Default missing cap, no coolant!

so yesterday i cleaned my TB.

my radiator cap was there

so i drive all around dayton, all around my town.

get to the kegger...and i see steam comeing out of the ponys grille


no cap...no coolant....

the temp gauge was still normal so im guessing there was enough in the lines.

but WHERE DOES A CAP GO?

now i got a black cap that dont click, and has an ugly white and red lable

who knows how long i drove with out coolant!!!!!!
