Ace hardware sells new seals for Hunter "gear driven" heads. Considering you must dig up the leaking head...I just buy a new Orbit replacement head, about $10 at Lowe's, and get it overwith with one 'dig'

That's the nice thing about the $1 seals from Florida Irrigation. You don't have to dig up the gear driven sprinkler. Just unscrew the cap, pull out the head, pop off the cap and install the two seals. If you are careful and watch the position of the head when you remove it, you don't have to do any readjusting.
