Depends on why it leaks, there are LFS that sell replacement parts for Eheim.

You need to check which part leak. For me initially was the magnet crack so l replace it.
Then no suctionpower and found the two small oil rings which connects to the top of cannister has harden and cracked.
After replacing those two and starting it, water keep flowing out from the rim.
Don't have to guess, changed that big oil ring also.
If l could have knew that need to replace so many items l would have bought a new one.
Anyway it's working perfectly now.

You should apply gaseoline gel to the o rings to prolong the life.
