Bowl is leaking and I can't get it to stop. The only thing I didn't Bend washers. It's also leaking aroud belts. I tried flour paste to get it to stop but only patched it around the outside of bowl. HELP!!! I have cork as a gasket.

A thin layer of flour paste between the bowl and keg should do the job... It expands and hardens as the boiler heats up, forming a firm yet flexible seal... You shouldn't be building enough pressure to cause a leak past flour paste...
