I use silicone dielectric grease to lubrcate and condition the o-ring seals. Still have all original inspection ports except the holding tank. The plastic weld/glue on the holding tank failed so I replaced it with a beckson port. No screws just plastic glue from TAP. They claim heating the plastic causes a change to the molecular structure of the plastic allowing the glue to adhere. I've not had a leak since. I've heard of similar success stories with west systems g-flex epoxy.
