The complete rebuild kit fixed it! Granted only with the LVL 10 in there, the LVL 7 still sticks - needs a longer powertube space which I do not have. Thank you everyone for their help.
UPDATE! So a new sear fixed everything beyond the leaks! Turns out there the sear edge got mashed up by the previous owner and a chunk of it is sticking straight up.
