I have a Pures SMBW filter that is leaking from the Discharge tube and a little from under the filter near the center of the discharge handle?

Is there a gasket or O-Ring kit to repair this leaking?

Welcome, Bob!
Is this your filter?

It looks like there may be an O-ring at the bottom that can leak. I know after I backwash sometimes I get a drip out the waste port. Moving the handle back and forth a little a few times gets it to seal for me. It's just some grit or DE caught somewhere.
