One of the members here had the exact same problem if i recal.
A simple o ring replacement was in order iirc.
Hopefully hell reply later. :thumbright:

yeah, 2 o rings & job done
fiddly but not the hardest of jobs
i think this is how i did it

disconnect cables
remove the throttle arm
remove 4 torx screws & lift off cover, push spindle down into body while removing cover
replace spindle o rings (this is the fiddly bit as it will still be connected inside) & reassemble

turn on ignition, remove bleed screw from top of pump, use primeing pump to remove any air, replace screw & start

leak gone, job done :thumbright:
