Default Ventus ballast leak

Hi all,
Id like to ask for help here. My Ventus a SN143 right wing ballast is
leaking around the ballast valve actuator rod. I've contacted S&H but
no response so far. I do not know if a O-ring seal would fit in the
small recess.
Have anyone in this group experienced this problem?
Thanks to everyone

I had my first actuator leak at the wing root of my Discus CS just last week. I've already designed, built, and tested a fix that can be made external of the wing. Very simple, but very effective. If you would like a description and a picture, just contact me. If you have a lathe, you can make it yourself; if not, any local machine shop can do the job with a few parts from McMaster Carr.
