...sounds like the "flush" contained something that 'shrunk' the seals, hence causing the 'leaking.'

...in the "old" days, a quart of TRANS-X™ would often solve the problem, by introducing a chemical (benzene?) that caused the seals to "swell."

...of course, once used, you have to continue using the TRANS-X™ or the seals would 'shrink' back from their swelled condition and leak even WORSE than before

...don't ask *how* I know about this.
