Marineland Emperor Filter 400 leak

I can't believe I am happy to say that the leak my tank has is from the filter. I thought it was comming from the tank itself. Anyhow, it is leaking from the handle of the biowheel spraybar. Has anyone experienced a leak from this point. What is the cure? Do I just need to replace o-rings? If so where do I find a set?

Is there a hole in the spraybar? Not sure how it can leak from the spraybar handle. Could possibly be not pushed all the way in?
