The beehive filter you have pictured looks exactly like mine. I actually sold that one and the new one on my truck (also an original unit) works just as well as the other did and looks just like it. It does have a spring in the bottom. The tightness of the lid is key. I have to put a short screw driver through the "egg half" on the top and get down on it good to get tight enough not to leak at that spot on the top - right around the "egg half". The original filters also had a small piece of metal with a little ball on one end that slipped into the tube that goes up the middle of the filter body. That small piece disburses the oil into a dribble and not a stream inside the filter. It is also a contributor to having the filter work correctly.
