Wow! 


That is strange.  My air cooled memory says just the threee. 


I wonder if it was on the outside with the crush washer and just stuck there. 


On my 1.9 I had a kind of plastic washer and I used it over and over for the 7 years I had the fan.  No leaks.  I’d kind of like to know what that was and where to get more!
