yea i got a new one and put the updated seal in it. the one that comes with it only has about 2mm sealing area and the updated one has about 4-5mm.

Ideally only the very edge of the seal cup does the work, it needs to have a nice sharp perfectly even edge, any rounding or dulling of the edge will cause leaks.
