I'm fine with tinkering once I've run something a bit if it needs maintenance due to wear. I've just reached the point where I'm not OK with it when something right out of the box needs a retrofit in order to not fail what I would consider a major requirement (not leaking fluid in this case).
It sure sounds like if the retrofit is not done, the question becomes when, not if the unit would leak. I realize bad news travels faster than good, so maybe there are some satisfied users out there who will never experience an issue if they use the unit as delivered. The above discussion makes it seem like it's highly recommended to do the upgrade, however.
We all have our own expectations and levels of what we are willing to accept on new items. Unfortunately I reached my threshold on this item.
