I was able to find new washers at a local hydraulic place.
I was also able to purchase a washer that had a rubber sealing
lip embedded in the inner circle of the washer, for a little extra
protection.
I installed one of these, and it seems to be leakproof. I
also bought a plain one as a spare, but the rubber liner
might have been useful to me because I cannot get a wrench
on the solenoid to tighten it.
I have to tighten it with a hammer and punch!
Thanks for all the help.
