The plastic piece will unscrew from the valve/cam cover the same way the oil cap does. Some members have removed that plastic piece completly and just screw the oil cap directly to the valve/cam cover. I'll see ifI can find a write up on that.

lol i agree. well ive contacted Ford and they claim they'll get back to me later today or 2morrow. like i asked in my first post if they won't do it under warranty am i better off paying Ford to fix it or taking it to another place. can another place even get the part i need?

How could this happen? Do you remember when it did? (no big deal if you did.) But if some shop did this, they should fix it. I agree on looking for a different dealer. There's got to be one somewhere that will file it under design flaw/warranty work/future customer relations and fix it under warranty for you.
