Well thank you everyone for all the great advice.

Yes Chris and Bruce were correct that oil was exiting passed the front jet cover nut. It didn’t appear to be very loose and would not “nip” down. I suspect that the thread is fragile but not totally stripped. I have replaced the fibre washer but …….. Obviously I have been careful the couple of times I have checked the jet in the last 5 years. Only applied a nip. The boot is in and tightened but I am not sure it won’t slacken again. Only thoughts on a more secure fitting?
