It sort of looks like that but more like an umbrella because the sides are crimped inward. I don’t see a hole in the bottom of it when I take the plug out, so I’m not sure how it vents. I have also tried blowing on the bottom of the plug, but again, with no hole in the bottom the air doesn’t go...

I checked the gasket but not the shaft seal. I use the recommended oil from the manual, 80-90. Yes I check the sight glass before each use. If it looks milky I don’t run it until I swap out. I called land pride and they said with the metal vent plug, I should be fine putting thread tape on the...
