Hi, I bought a used LX150 and had noticed that the bubble that catches the oil from the air filter was missing but didn't think too much of it. I decided to clean the air filter today and saw that not only was the bubble missing, but there was a screw screwed into the hole where the oil should leak out from. Is there a reason someone might do this? just to prevent oil from dripping on the street?

Thanks
