New to the ranks…

Sometimes adjusting the handles so that the gasket is squeezed more can solve leaking issues.

Sometimes the gaskets can be brought back to life by rubbing the sealing surface with a scotchbrite pad.  Also make sure the mating surface for the gasket is clean.

Thanks for the ideas.  I have already contacted a few and think that I have found the right gaskets (it isn't the handle and I have adjusted the depth of the glass and closures already).  They are original and leaking in a few places.  Are there any shortcut instructions anyone has posted on installing the new gaskets?  IE, do you use Dow 795 silicone behind the gasket to the glazing surface and that process?  I know that you don't clean them with windex, but any other tips would be great.
