So I pulled the sump drain and chip light sensor/ filter.  Tossed it into some solvent and swished it around, blew it dry. Poured the solvent through a paper towel filter to look for contaminants. Nice and clean, no metal but there in the middle was a round rubber disc about 3 mm (1/8 in) thick slightly smaller in diameter than the end of the filter screen. It has a 3 mm slot in it off center. 

Where the hell does it go and what orientation? The M-14  manual shows a gasket in the sump parts blow - up diagram but it looks like an O-ring not a disc. Cleaned the screen multiple times but never seen this before (that I can remember).

Anyone with a better memory than me?

What you are describing is an electrical insulator that is EXTERNAL to the 

sump drain.  The slot fits over the tab before attaching the chip light wire 

terminal.

It is intended to prevent an inadvertent contact to ground which would 

energize the light.

You do not have a problem.

That rubber ring is a vibration dampener.  It goes on the outside of the chip detector.

Install it before you bolt up the wire connection.

Phew! Thanks, guys. Now I can just deal with re-lubing the gear actuator.
