Yes, that is a rubber gasket. The edges do flex a bit. Want me to take a picture or something else? That is the rough area where the smell comes from, though I can't be exact if that's exactly where it is coming from, if that makes sense.

Ok, got it. I'm out for the next few days, I'll check when I return. If I recall correctly, it did appear to be a rubber-based material, but I wouldn't stake my life on it. Think it could be bad? Thanks again.
