Hi Frank,

Good to know there is an o-ring in there!  I would not have guessed
given the loose fit, but it makes sense since it's meant to be a closed
system.  If I can fish out the old one and get a replacement, I will go
that route.  I may even have one in a gasket set on the shelf.  Thanks!

 How about taking it out and renewing the O-ring and reinstalling
it as it was when new ?
