If you have a leaky backplate it will be easier for the impeller pull-in the easy-breezy air then try to suck up heavy liquid stuff. It would be like the opposite of priming the pump.

The gasket is pretty thin and if you wanted to make a quick and dirty gasket to test, sacrificing a $1 bill is actually great gasket material. It's about 4-5 thousandths thick and very durable... since that pesky paper money can survive the accidental laundry excursion.

Good luck.
