Common problem on these.It is usually the the plastic housing that becomes brittle and porous and fractures around the seams after so many years.Not a difficult job to do,but as you have found out ,genuine parts are not cheap.After market,pattern parts are now available at a much reduced price.Never used them myself,so can't comment on the quality.Probably worth a try.The plastic gasket/seal should come with new housing.hth
