Possible air leak?

Today when I turned the system back on after backwashing I noticed the cover over the basket chamber tighted up but immediately lost suction. I could see the cover suck in then loosen. It still seems tight, and doesn't leak when system is off. Could this be that the gasket needs replacing?
