Default Convertible pump leak

Vert pump is leaking from the rubber gasket separating the two halves. How does the pump come apart to replace it and is a replacement gasket made?

Real easy. The triangle head on the back. Loosen that and will split. Hydraulic shop should have it. May be to big for auto parts store. It's like 3.5" o-ring or so.

It looks like a special O-ring, it's more like a square ring with 90 degree edges. Does anyone sell this?

Dry it up nice. Thin layer of rtv on both sides replace old ring, put together, wipe off any ooze. ....

Mine spewed its contents all over 3 jackets and 2 purses saturday night. Is there anywhere I can get just the plug for the reservoir? I can't seem to find it in catalogs, and I don't want a new pump as mine works fine with plenty of power.

The pump worked fine for 25+ times before putting the top on and it had to crap out over lots of nice items. lol
