Cap Vented ?

immotal suby,

You say that the cap is vented. This is contrary to what has been posted with reference to the effect of the O ring leaking air.

I have just examined mine and can see no evidence of a vent. The spring retaining arrangement may however give the impression of a pressure controlled vent.

A leaking cap would probably let in air and result in airation of the fluid and a noisy PS pump relief valve as does a leaking O ring and the reference by billisa to noise appears to be confirmation this.

Could there be a variation between models ? Your further comments could assist in determining if this is the case.
