Hey mate i had a new (reco) box put in mine (GQ) cos the old one was leaking. The new one absolutly pissed out so went to the bloke that supplied it and he replaced an o ring just under the adjuster, was a 2 min job. Thought it was all good now is pissing out again (not as bad) so have to take it back again (Grrrr). Aparently there's the oring and a copper washer that are the usual culprits if it leaks from there. Hopefully you have better luck than mine.

Thanks Rossco
Do you have to take the top off too get to Oring?
?

TBH didn't look too closely when the bloke did it was very quick tho probly only took him a minute or two. Think you just take the adjuster nut off definatly didnt take the whole top off.

A reconditioned unit leaking like that can't be a good thing.
Probably better to have it swapped over.
