Well what's done is done.
I read a post on a thread some time ago that a fellow used teflon tape to provide additional insurance again the Eheim leaking at the suction end around the big cap thing (not the barb) that had the bad "O" ring in your case.
I sometimes wonder if this is where I am losing fluid? However no sign of moisture under my pump or anywhere for that matter.
I almost cut the plug off my pump too but decided it might void the warranty.
