Hayward S200 filter keeps leaking

We have taken our S200 apart 3 times. First it was leaking from the bulkhead fitting. We bought a new one and replaced. We had to take the dome off and replace the sand.

When we put it back together it started leaking where the tank head (dome) and base come together. We took the bolts off (again) and replaced the o-ring between them. We cleaned it out really well. The new ORing didn't seem to lay completely flat. Put it all back together and still leaking.

We did some reading and saw info about lube so we took it all apart again. Cleaned it again, lubed it. It didn't seem like it laid flat again. Put it all back together and leaking worse.

Please help. We are in the process of selling our house and can't run the filter because it is leaking and the pool looks disgusting. Called local pool place and I have to wait weeks for a service call.
