I've had the same leak but I solved it my putting a very light skim of silicon sealer on the ring and washer.

I know some people are against this method, but I have started to use it anywhere I have something that is trying to contain a fluid...and it works great.

I had a neighbor with VW diesels and I once asked him when he changed his fuel filters and he said "I've never had to change one". And he put mega miles on those little diesel rabbits. Therefore, PEH isn't alone in his methods.
