My reservoir loses trim fluid very slowly. The source of the leak appears to be around the threading for the pigtail located at the bottom of the main assembly housing (#39 in the attached pic). I replaced the pigtail, but the leak continues.
Has anyone experienced this? Short of replacing the assembly, what can i do? Thread sealant? Thx.

I would try thread compound or teflon tape.

I had one do that and turned out to be a twenty five cents o-ring on the fill screw.
