I have a fairly new cylinder on my sinker which leaks. I've taken it off and refitted it numerous times and the only slight difference was when I fitted a new seal inside the cylinder. It's taken nearly a year to source a NOS cylinder.

If any of you have old cylinders with the seal leaking. Don't throw them away, they are fixable with a new dowty seal and a bit of work. Drop me a pm for more info.
