SF= Southern France?
You wouldn't believe the crap I found down in the crooks and nannies of my car when I did the trans swap. Hey dad, those air cleaner box screws you dropped (this is 8 valve territory)? There they are! They've been riding along with the car for the past 60,000 miles.
First step: find out where it dropped. This may involve pulling the left front wheel and looking into the crevices that way.
Second step: backflush your coolant more often so the translucent reservoir can still be read from the outside without taking off the cap.
Third step: replace the coolant cap with the newer, mechanically-improved, more visible yellow one. The black ones will fail after ten years or so, and then the cooling system will fail to pressurize correctly.
