about once a month i just get a rag and lube it up lightly with some vasaline and rub over the seals , seems to work fine , seems to stop any small air leaks too . Just lightly vas them so they look nice and dark and oiled/shiny , don't need clumps of it hanging off the seals or anyhthing like that ! ..lol
