Been there and seen that. Motor Saver filters suck O-Rings are definately the way to go.

the filter connector looks dry and that is a tell tale sign that the filter was dry hence no filter oil

these are the worst air filters on the market. The caps are famous for popping out along with the element. I've lost 2 engines due to this issue.
