Today I opened my pool and started the filter and water was leaking from the waste. I replaced the spider gasket on the filter. It is the correct spider gasket. I put the lubricant on it, maybe too much or not enough? Not really sure what the heck is going on. I can't put the old gasket back in because it was glued in or melted in so I had to break it apart to get it out.

Am I doomed or will maybe the gasket end up compressing and working? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
