Welcome to the forum…

What part of the engine?? internal or just under the hood somewhere??

If just under the hood, then it is probably down in one of the many undercar shields or the like…

If down in the engine while adding oil, then you probably need to remove the valve cover or stick a small mirror or something down in there and see if you see it…

There are lots of cars out there running around with sockets rolling around under the hood that were dropped never to be found again or even oil filler caps…
