I dunno what that 0-Ring is; my BOVs were pre-installed to manifold, so I never looked in there.

That's the O-ring. That definitely shouldn't be like that. You need a new BOV. You should see a drop in boost on your boost gauge (if you have one) cause it won't close fast enough.

If you don't have a boost gauge then have a buddy start the car up (In Neutral) and pop the hood and place your hand at the bottom of the BOV. Have him rev it and you should be able to tell that it doesn't close properly.

Good Luck
