Besides Mandy came highly recommended here at TOTV. I beleive that if it could have been cheaper he would have told me to buy a new one.
I had a similar problem. Spent a few $$ replacing individual parts. Finally bought complete Fluidmaster replacement kit. Wrestled tank off and replaced parts. Wrestled tank back on. Whole set of new leaks. Wrestled tank off again. Reread directions. Oops! Washers in wrong place. Corrected. Wrestled tank back on. Success, finally.

Knowing what I know now, I would have gladly spent $135.00 to have a pro do the job.
