nothing will come out, just oil. youtube rc shock building to learn how to build shocks properly.  its a bit fiddly.

If the shock cap camr off entirely, make sure the bladder is still in the cap and refill as per youtube instructions. You definitely lost oil if the cap came off completely. You would feel popping when you compress shock.

well i should get faster lap times now that the rear suspension is harder and also i trimmed back the body so it would not catch the tire! g-wizz that was annoying, that extra bit of body catching the tire set me back 6 seconds in the main! that was terrible. the race was good though. :)
