My F10 is now bleeding air from the very small vent hole shown in the attached photo. I have disassembled the unit, cleaned the two ball bearings, spring and reinstalled the white O-ring. In order to do all that I had to remove the block (manifold)and the backing plate, that is immediately above the burst disk, that holds all the check valve's two ball bearings and spring in place. Anybody else had this problem, I posted about this awhile back and one person came back with cleaning the check valve with WD40. I did that and it did not help.

There are 2 white O-Rings associated with that assembly (#37 Vent Assembly). Did you catch them both, or just one?
It could also be another O-Ring at the very bottom of the block (see pink box area in attached). It's tough to see in the schematic but there is one there.

Thanks Revoman for the schematic. Somehow my #37 assembly only had 1 white O-ring and it was in contact with the #112 retainer plate. There was no "inside" or 2nd white o-ring when I removed, disassembled and cleaned the #37 Vent Assembly. Any idea where I can obtain the two white O-rings?

Those O-Rings are numbered as '006', and should be cast Urethane,, 90 Durometer. They are the same O-Rings as would be used on the small piston, so you may wanna get at least more than needed.
Likely get them from here:
