Tooth the housing off and re tightened it still leaking.

Just did it again
The first time i had it where the two nibs on the front of the motor housing were under the plate ..gonna try with them infront of the plate..

Pointing to the nibs

I have never had a problem with it long term. If you need to take it apart just make sure you have more on hand. It might "break in" over time and be fine without.
