I replaced the Chinese CMP with an SMP CMP - this immediately stopped the leak. No more issues.
On the SMP CMP I did grease the O-ring with silicon grease as you suggested. I had not done that on the Chinese/Import Direct CMP. That said the O-ring on the SMP was larger and protruded outward to a greater extent than the Import Direct. Finally, when I inserted the SMP CMP into the hole, it fit snuggly unlike the Import Direct.
I just returned from 10 days of extended operations with the Tracker and had zero issues. I am a happy camper.
Take care,
Joe Tracker
