Heliocol Solar Leaking

My 11 year old solar system has a few small leaks where the plastic clamps connect two sections of the pipes together. I took the clamps off and noticed the two sections of pipes weren't quite flush. I see on Amazon they sell replacement clamps and gaskets. Out of frustration, I fixed one using silicone glue, but know there is a better technique, I wonder if anyone on this site has experience with this type leak?

Thank you!

Did you try and lube the clamp gasket?the clamp themselves shouldn't wear so of they are not broken I would try to magic lube them or replace the leaking gaskets as they are relatively inexpensive.
That being said, if you were the original purchaser heliocol has a min 12yr warranty and a lifetime 50% off parts warranty beyond that.

I see you are in San diego so I'll also say solar pool supply in lakeside would have the panel clamp gaskets in stock (they are also the Amazon seller)
