I don't agree.  Unless the seals in the DPWA are leaking there is no fluid 
(fluif) at the switch.  I don't think the nylon switch is intended to stand 
any pressure or even standing fluid.  Replacing the switch may stop the 
leak, but one or both of the sides of the DPWA is still leaking into the 
center section.
