Just got a Autobrite foamlance, but a small leak?

Hi all,

I just received my Autobrite foam lance directly from there. By the time I got home from work it's already pitch black outside so I couldn't use it. So I decided to prepare some soap tonight so I can use it tomorrow. When I filled it up and started shaking the bottle so that the soap will mix, I noticed that there's a small air leak on top of the cylinder brass where the bottle screws in. I've uploaded a shortclip to show where the leak is. Sorry for the blurry video, my Blackberry is terrible at everything. Is this normal for a foam lance? I don't think that it'll affect anything but it might be a little annoying over time.

Didn't check out the video but my foam lance also has a leak from a tiny hole in that same area. Not a big deal when shaking, but when the bottle is stored and tips over due to the heavy neck, it leaks soap all over the place.

 

Ahh stupid me...Now I see the hole lol. I didn't notice there was one there since I had water/soap around it.

 

It is a vent hole so the bottle does not cavitate when the soap is pulled into the stream. No way around it unless they install a 1 way check valve and that would certianly drive up the cost.
