Mushroom cap or the swirly one with jar?
My MD, which lives far far away, sat outside at the farm last winter due to a malfunction and we couldn't move it. (Someone was supposed to take care of the problem, but they came down with thyroid cancer) And of course it rained a lot. Everything seemed normal when we got to it the next spring. It fired right off on gas. Switched to diesel and all hell broke loose. Running terrible and white smoke blowing out and noisy as all get out. Needless to say it was quickly shut down. Also needless to say, was very puzzled at this point. Pulled the oil bath and it probably had over a half gallon of water added to it. The high flow air on diesel was sucking the water through the engine, which didn't happen on gas side. Fortunately it didn't seem to hurt anything. At least from what I can tell.
Point is, it had(!) a swirly cap, and it turns out the top on the danged thing acts like a little dish to collect water. That little rivet in the center provided the necessary leak, and that as they say, was that.
