Well, I don't technically know the purpose for the cap, but I have been driving with mine off now for over a year, and haven't noticed any ill effects, so I would say yes, you can drive around with it off.

There's a place I know about, where the dirt road runs out, and we can try out the 4 wheel drive..come on now, what do you say?
I've got the perfect place in mind, it's in the middle of nowhere, only one way to get there, you got to get a little mud on the tires.

I'm sure you can but why not just take it off and clean it?
