The oil pot is leaking! What do I do?

This seems to be a common complaint and I suspect that all of the AS-1 oil pots may leak.
Luckily, it is easy to fix. One solution is to use some kind of silicone caulk/glue/etc to seal
the join around the base of the pot. Another solution is simply to use another container such as
a jam jar, Tupperware, etc. An open top is fine and will not affect the seismometer. Just be
careful that the washer doesn't touch the side, as that will affect the response..
