^^^ Steve beat me to it as I was typing ^^^

As long as its easy to remove the oil fill cap, you (normally) don't have a failing AOS, but if you want to sure, remove the throttle body & AOS to manifold vacuum line and check for pooling oil.
The engine will run poorly with the cap removed as you are introducing a big vacuum to the system....
