Narrative:

After servicing the #2 engine on aircraft, I tried to install the cap onto the tank, but the oil servicing hose was in the way. I removed the hose and wrapped it up. While doing this, I noticed that the #2 engine cowl did not have a CSD access door or viewing holes to check CSD oil level. I started thinking about opening the engine cowl and closed the engine oil access door without making sure the oil cap was secure. It was discovered at its next destination after departing ZZZ. While I have never taken my job for granted, I have to make sure I've completed the task at hand (physically) before moving onto the next task.
