Also if I remember well and although I never had a leak there
there are 2? quite small 1cm diameter o-rings in the head of the filter
after the pump and before the output nose...
Not sure for I only clean there every 10 years !

Dear,
Thank you for your e-mail. Could you tell me where this filter is leaking
from. I think leak could be caused by a misplaced o ring. Please check is
in the right position and that it is not twisted. Please do not hesitate
to
contact me if you require further assistance at 1-888-343-4662 Mon-Fri
9:00am to 5:00pm ET.
Yours truly,

Mine is an old 2213 with no "automatic" lid (neither priming)...
The lid as two diameters the o-ring has to sit at the very position
on the smaller where it touches the larger.
When you close by hand you feel when you are not simultaneous.
Perhaps your handle prevent you of feeling it.
I never did use grease but I had leaks once every 10 closings.
You should prevent the O-ring to roll when you close.
