> Are you sure your leak is from the gasket/frame? Common port leaks are also from the lock handles. There are "O" rings in the handles that can be replaced. Also, the screw can adjust the tension on the closure. 
> Many of us with the split-ring frame have found that where the gasket is visible in the split from the outside can be a source of leak. It may not be necessary to pull the port and replace the whole gasket, a job which I hear is a real bear. I've pulled out the parts of the gasket in the ring split, taped, and filled with black LifeCalk. The repair is water-tight, looks good, and has held for more than 5 years.
