Apparently, some are and some aren't. Mine is. Even without the vent hole, I
suspect they leak enough air to get by, since there
is no seal between the center post and the plate that slides on it. Here's a
shot of the vent hole on mine

I deliberately blocked the tank vent, because it can dump raw fuel on the
ground if you turn a tight corner with a full tank. Even
with the tank vent blocked, I've never had that problem with the cap vent.
