Pretty sure that small hole feeds the disk filtered oil back into the outflowing stream - not up into it.
Perhaps sitting in the outflow a vacuum is created somehow? - seems a stretch.
Tried to pry the disk itself out and couldn't do it with a thumbtack/ paperclip will try something a bit more aggressive.

You talking about the holes the red arrows are pointing to? If those holes are wide open to the center tube then there is also dirty oil flowing through them all the time too because of the delta-p across the element. Are those holes shown by the red arrow a straight shot through to the center tube? Yep, the screw driver is on the spring loaded bypass valve which has nothing to do with flowing oil from the micro disc.

I got the micro disc out of mine with a automotive pick under the edge... flipped right out...

Oh...Ill get it out, but Im surprised I couldn't pry it out w/a tack or paperclip
I got minimal stuff at home like picks.

That photo clears it up pretty good .... thanks. Is there some kind of seal around where the tube from the micro disc goes into the hole on the top end cap? Looks like a rubber or nylon washer perhaps?

There a sort of a metal washer thing at the top of the tube and it took some force to pull out the two units apart after I had the disk carrier separated from the end cap. It was in there fairly tight - pulling it out egg shaped the hole - you can see this a bit.
Bypass location makes total sense once I held the thing up to the light at the correct angle and realized oil flowed between the carrier and end cap.

Amazing what a good nights sleep will do, I was thinking backwards.
Some media dried out.
The micro disc dried out.
The lighter colored area is where the disc was over the tube, it is depressed toward the tube. Not sure why this is as the spring only applied pressure around the edge.
