I have had a very senior instructor swear blind that there is no O-ring in a direct feed hose connector ... and wonder why it leaked. You are not alone.

Missing would manifest is self as leaking the first hour in the water .... so I agree with you damaged is more like it.

but it does not change the fact that I don't see it..... is it recessed?
