Oil Filter Question
is this normal? the oil filter exposed like that, should there be a plastic cap that goes over it to protect it?

It's supposed to have a super indestructible carbon fibre cover on it that secures to the block with titanium bolts. Either that or it's exactly how it should be. I always forget.

iv just got the car a few days ago,
so sorta threw me for a loop when i noticed it,
maybe that little lip around the edge catches the oil and it drains away
to a magical place where i dont need to worrie about it
