Lifan KPX oiling issue.

http://I received my bike yesterday and rode it into town , and came home the back way. I figured that was enough time to catch the sentiment that I expected to be in the filter. I went to change it this morning, and I noticed what looked like a little gray Permatex on a bolt, and then the filter housing was really hard to remove. When I did get it off I noticed that the inner most o ring was smashed, and broken. I heard something hit my oil drain jug, and that was a piece of the o ring. That's why my hand is oily. I had nearly nothing on my filter, and with the oil passage in between the two O rings, I don't think my motor could have been oiling correct or having oil pressure. I figure that's why the filter was surprisingly clean. I messaged Venom, but haven't got a reply. I just don't want a motor that could be damaged, or doomed to a shorter than normal life. http://
