I had a slightly different but equally irritating problem. When pumping water in to flush, there would be an annoying leak of fresh water at the place where the handle entered the pump. A friend recommended pouring "head lube" into the head, pumping it through the pump, and letting it stay there for a while. I also managed to pour a little down the hole for the handle. Voila! No more irritating leak! Apparently the head lube is excellent at reconditioning the valves!
