I've installed dozens of basket strainers and never had this problem before: The rubber gasket on the underside of the locknut kept squirming out from under the locknut. The more I tightened the locknut, the more it squirmed out, until finally the seal was gone. I ended up not tightening it as much as I normally do and using silicone on top and bottom of the strainer to compensate.
I might start using silicone to glue the rubber seal and the cardboard washer to the locknut from now on. Anyone else have this problem?
