Take the on/off assembly out and clean everything. Inspect the condition of the o-rings beofre you reinstall. If you have an o-ring kit, put new o-rings in the on/off assembly. Apply a bit of proper oil on the rings help seal them.

Does it look like you took a chunk out of it, or scratched it somwhere where it seals?

there isn't chunks tooken out. i think the on/off bottom got marred on the inside of it. just enough to break the seal on the top white o-ring.
