air blowing around a part of exaust blower on enviro ef3

[stinger68]

Hi guys i put my exaust blower fan back on my enviro ef3 pellet stove after i cleaned it.I had the side off again tonight and put my hand by the side of the fan towards the back of the stove and i can feel warm air blowing from a spot around where i pu the fan back in.It has 6 sheet metal screws holding it in place.Ok is this normal for air to be blowing from there? Do i have the blower in wrong? it mounted back in those holes???

I know nothing about that stove, but was there a gasket that you took off as well?

Gaskets are funny when it comes to reusing one, they frequently will no longer provide a good seal.
