If the small end gasket fails you are sucking in unfiltered air through the hole.
I've installed several of these filters, all either with a small end gasket OEM or one I removed from another filter and glued in place. How is it possible for the gasket to fail? Is it any more likely to fail compared to the big end gasket? The end of the canister compresses both gaskets and does not allow any movement. Don't see any way either end could fail. Even when my Wix partially collasped, the end gaskets were fine and that is with a lot of pressure differential between the inside and outside of the filter.

The bluetech Donaldson pictured here flows much better and is filters much finer particles than the paper ones.
