I've got a leak at one of the posts for a pump (picture shows where leak is that I discovered yesterday). Is there a gasket kit for the vst? I can't seem to find one.
TIA

Most vst parts are no longer available(nla). The +/- posts use orings to seal. Get an oring kit from harbor freight, nitrile kit if I remember right. There is also a top hat oring.
You will need the gasket between top/bottom halves of vst once you split it. Dont try to reuse it as it expands once removed. You will need to remove the high pressure hose from top of vst, new oetiker hose clamp and oetiker pliers or nipper pliers to re-install.
Dont over tighten nuts for +/- posts, wire holders are plastic and will crack and they extend into pump to seal around orings, then you have a bigger leak and more nla parts. If you crack them, buy a cheap pump, take post parts off new pump and put on your pump, throw new pump in trash....
Vst is difficult to work with and seal. You could take it off and send to don, he will seal it up and include the oetiker clamps when returned

I'm in Canada, so shipping stateside isn't an option. Too $$$
I've seen a few youtube videos, looks pretty straightforward

As suggested, utilizing Nitrile O-Rings is a good idea (you can likely find a generic kit through several outlets). There is a "Connection Kit" you can buy but it is out there in the wild blue yonder, price wise.
We can still get "most" parts for the VST, and I have a few that I have "squirreled" away for emergencies.
