Engine warning light now gone! Thanks again for the replies, much appreciated 🙂

Thanks very much for the replies! Ok I am more relaxed about it now. I’ve just driven it again, still warning light on but judder seems to be going away. Have booked it into garage on Monday but I’m less worried that I’ve wrecked my engine 😂 cheers!

Hello, I got a Check Oil Level warning the other day so I drove to the nearest petrol station, bought some oil and topped it up. Check Oil Level warning disappeared straight away so I thought everything was fine but when I got home I noticed an engine judder when I turned the car off. Next day I drove maybe 10 miles to supermarket and other nearby places and every time I turned the car off I noticed the same judder, and also noticed the engine warning light had come on (may have been on since Check Oil Level warning, I am not sure). So at the end of the day I open the bonnet and discover to my horror that I had left the oil cap off after I had topped it up! Some oil had spewed out over nearby engine parts but nothing seems to have been damaged due to that. However I am really worried by the engine warning light being constantly on now! Does anyone have any idea what might be happening? Have I ruined the engine by leaving the cap off? It might help to know that the judder doesn’t happen when I turn off engine with clutch engaged. It could be that the judder was always there, and I only noticed now because I was more attentive due to Check Oil Level warning. At no point has the Oil Pressure warning appeared. I have put the cap back on and run it more a couple miles but engine warning light is still on. It’s a Fábia Mk III if that makes any difference. Thanks in advance for any help!
