Mine started leaking the day before a big trip, and there was no chance of getting a new one. I found the motor was kicking forward on start up and leaking at the seal. I could push the motor back into place and the leak stopped. I made a plastic harness that wrapped around the back of the bottle, bottom to top and side to side. After applying some silicon on the seal, I used some old cable insulation to stretch across the motor, which forced it back into place. Fingers crossed it is still sealed.
