Mine was leaking whenever I flew in turbulence, since I don't have much
control over that I had to find a solution. These pumps were not really
made for airborne operation, though Lancair has chosen to use the same
pump. the Reservoir attachment is cheesy as best.
I finally broke down and put some Silicone RTV on the large O ring and
installed the reservoir with the RTV still wet. No more leak..
