Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew where I can get a new cap for my antifreeze/coolant reservoir? It has a dipstick attached to it but when I went to go add new antifreeze today (the first time I've done this since owning the car) I noticed the dipstick (which is flexible so it can slide into the "L" shaped reservoir) was badly misshapen. Basically it looks like it wouldn't go in all the way so the upper portion did an "S" shaped type of thing and now it is all squshed but won't go back to its original shape.

I can't really check my coolant level with it like this. Apparently most coolant reservoirs (for cars in general) just have markings on the side but I have this whole dipstick contraption for my Protege. I'm going to see if I can somehow fix the dipstick but I was wondering if anyone knows where I can acquire one. I looked on eBay but didn't see one (or on eBay motors)...but I may have been using bad search terms.

I don't know much about buying car parts online or for older cars. Any help would be appreciated. Even if it's nothing more than websites that sell Protege parts. I'm really in the dark here.
