Ron,
Where's it leaking? Bolt holes on the case? Shaft holes? Split in the case? I took mine appart and cleaned it up last fall/summer and I wouldn't say the gears are made of paper. I bought a package of o-rings that fit in the groove around the case. It still leaks around the lowest bolt hole a little bit, but not enought to be annoying, and if it does start to annoy me, I'm sure a rubber washer would fix it right up. I had to buy a package of 10 of the o-rings, and I'd be happy to mail you one if you want it and it's leaking around the case. Mine had the original packing material in there that resembled valve packing for an old faucet that had dried up and cracked. Let me know.
