It should just pull. Is yours just a vacuum cap? Is there a clamp?

its held on by a small clamp that you can get to with some small needle nose and yes put a paper towel under it before you pull it out or oil will get everywhere if theirs any in it.

It's engine oil; you've probably got too much in there. That's where it overflows to.
