Have to agree with the above. Discovered mine was leaking slightly yesterday whilst at Well Lane having a check-up. Tightened the bolts, job done, leak fixed !

Don't go mad with the tightening, or you could strip the alloy threads. The torque setting for them is 5 N.m (3.6 lb.ft).
Older rubber gaskets get hard with age.
