Here's an outside-the-box solution I considered, but didn't implement: 3D print my own vent cover.

The new vent I used fits tight to the ABS -- it's obviously sized for exactly that purpose. Here's another picture of the new vent without the cap. It's a tight fit getting it over the ABS. Not...

I finally got a dry weekend day last Saturday, and had a chance to replace the vent.

The first picture shows what I found when I removed the old Heng's vent cap. Not very pretty... The thing is...

It looks like they did this on the vent over the sink, but that bathroom vent is obviously different.

That's kind-of my plan. Yes, the cap can be reattached -- it twists a 1/8 turn to lock on or take off (4 tabs on the cap match up with the 4 corners you see in my pictures).

I plan to clean it as...

OK, here are the promised pictures...

First, here's a link to the manufacturer's (Heng's industries) site, since I forgot to take a photo with the cap still on:

I suspect so...

If you want to test, pull the cap off (rotate it 1/8 turn to release) and use a jug to pour a little water between the vent wall and the ABS pipe. If the water doesn't pool...

That's my current thought. There isn't room to get a finger in there to form a putty, but something that I can manipulate with a small stick or chopstick would do the job. That's why I was...
