I'd bet that's the (main) reason it's vented.

My car is a 30. I put a new gasket on the cap as the old one was almost gone. I believe the gasket is leather?? Cap is as mentioned a two piece part. I can't see a hole anywhere and the part under the cap is a pressed part. I'll look at it closer and see what I discover. I just thought I'd ask as it might help me and others
