Double check - Once the housing is closed, check the o'ring seal. Check the gap between the housing back and the housing, it should be even all the way around.

Look through the clear plastic back at the o'ring. You should see a darkened area where the o'ring is compressed against the housing back. If you do not see an even black compression seal all the way around the back, open the lid snaps, reseat the housing back and close the lid snaps. Visually check the seal again.
