Guy,
I found the same with mine. By experimenting, I found that you can not fully close the cap. There should be a tab that you can lockwire the cap to prevent it from coming off. I had tried to put a small hole in the rubber gasket, which allowed the oil to come out. Ultimately, the "almost" tight cap provided gravity feed without the loss of oil. You can test yours by loosening the vent plug on the opposite side of the block. Oil should flow out. You may have to blow into the reservoir bottle initially to thoroughly bleed the system. After it flows nicely, tighten the reservoir cap progressively until the flow slows. The cap should not be tighten beyond this point. Then tighten the vent plug up.

Guy,
If the washer is original it should have a short razor cut slice in the
center. It's difficult to see without bending the washer around a bit. If
it doesn't have one, cut one.

You're absolutely right! It's there, but it doesn't pass even a molecule. I
cut it open into an X and it passes pressure nicely, but should keep out
the majority of the dirt. Thank you so much. I'm back on track for first
flight.
