Default Washed my car and found this...
After I pulled my car in from a wash, found this (pictured) plastic piece on the ground. Wondering if it's from my car. Any thoughts?

Something you picked up from the road?

I can say it's deathly not something that is used for structural strength or anything important.

No, I've taken my car apart many times and have never seen that plug.

Doesn't look like it came off your car.

Looks like your Lexus has an oil drinking problem and has been trying to hide the cork from you.

Looks like the blinker fluid plug. Apparently it falls out often since everyone's indicator is broken here in South Fla.

Bring it back to the service dept. at the dealer or your Indy Lexus mechanic. See what they say.

If they smirk and chuckle, it's best that you washed your hands.
