These leaks can fool you -- don't always believe your eyes.
Put strips of paper around your canister and fasten them with a black pinch type clip that you use at the office. What you want to eliminate is the possibility that you're getting a slight splash out the top of the canister and it's leaking down the side and fooling you. Put little strips of paper right above the rubber hose as well, in the same fashion, to confirm the leak is not coming from the fitting at the base of the canister. Use plain white printer paper -- brake fluid stains it nicely. Once you've done that you might find that the leak is not coming from where you thought it was.
