    Flex tape or flex caulk.

    Is it the style that has a screw in little lid?

    Often these lids tighten with a two action motion: 1)pushing in, then 2) a tightening, with the direction of turning the lid to tighten it being reversed to convention.


    Also, check the rungs on the lid to make sure they are thoroughly cleaned, and not gunked with hard water or dried soap residue. Cleaning with a toothbrush may help.


    If the plastic is worn down or shredded too much to ensure a tight fit, it may be time to purchase a new replacement. Check ebay.

    Not an answer to your leak but I use dishwasher pods that have the rinse aid in them...Finish or Cascade make them.

      I use cascade pods with rinse aid in it. Maybe I should use Finish

      instead.

    Pat I do the same thing. Nice to have all of that in one pod.

    I agree with Pat, and they keep the dishwasher so much cleaner without all those granules.
