If the O ring type does not seal up then I would say your your two hold down bolts are too long and bottoming out.

Add a washer or two to each.

I have leveled off a warped housing by sanding it in a figure 8 pattern on soapy water lubed up wet or dry 180 grit sand paper.
It takes a while, but it works if the housing is not warped too much.
