more than likely it popped off when you took the engine cover off..

but yes, there is supposed to be a cover over that with a lock tab in it to keep it from coming off so easily.

its probably "ok" for now as it would be hard for somthing to fall in when your hood is closed and it seems unlikely for the fluid to come spurting up, but i would definitly get a new one as soon as you can.
