Is there suppose to be a duckbill somewhere on these gas caps? Bottom inside with a star? All 3 straight through which dont make since.

You've got it Kevin.  They have a duckbill held in the tube section on the underside of the cap with the star washer.  Washer slips over the duckbill and then is pressed in as far as possible.  Sometimes, the plastic gets chewed up by the 'points' of the star washer and allows the washer to slip a bit.  Gas then leaks around the flange of the duckbill and pees out the hole in the cap. 

When replacing the duckbill, it helps to clean ALL the old duckbill goo out of the cap.  Also helps to flatten the star washer out after removing it.......as it tends to get deformed.
