Hmm maybe I need to look at mine closer. Mine was leaking there and I got an oring from the parts store that fit and put it in there. I ordered the international one and was like 4.00! Well it still leaked so I decided to put the international one in and its still leaking. Maybe its my heater itself leaking then. Anyone have more information on repairing a leaking element itself? I think the oring seals good because it snaps into there pretty snugly.
