Mine's stuck, but there's a rubber ring at the base, by the heads, that's half in, half out. I don't think it's supposed to be like that, but whatever works, I guess.

Btw, I bought it like that, so I have no info on the ring.

is it threaded into the valve cover or is it the push in style? i know after awhile of heat cycles the VC's will make the hole expand a little. try teflon tape around the threads if it has them.

yea mine seals good too! but i think there is some type of vacum leak! when i first bought the car i would open the oil cap while the car is running idle, and the rpm's would drop down a bit, now when i open the cap, the rpms dont change or anything??? weird i think its leaking or something! should i worry bout this
