Drain the oil out.

loosen the set screws that hold the end caps on and remove end caps.

Clean the inside of the tank and both end caps well with rubbing alcohol.

Using clear silicone caulking place a bead of it all around each end cap over the rubber O-ring and push the end cap back on.

If you put enough silicone on it you will have silicone that oozed out the edges of the tank that can be wiped off using rubbing alcohol. Remove the excess silicone right away and it will all come off nicely. Let the tank sit over night. It won't leak again.
Great thanks for sharing. I've decided I now want one of these so asked my friend to source one to me here in the UK.
