Had to replace the o-ring on my eheim 2128 this weekend. It's not been 100% successful as its still leaking a little but much less than it was at the weekend.
for those that experience leaking from the head unit for all pro2 models (Eheim 2026, 2028, 2126 and 2128) then you can buy a new o-ring from these guys

Replacing the Priming O-Ring on Eheim Pro II Series Filters |
the biggest issue by far is stopping the ring from pinching when you have pushed back into the body. It's a pig of a job and clearly I haven't quite got it right but it's a lot better than it was.....hopefully helpful to someone. (Ps invalidates your warranty by the way)
