yes mine was doing this when we first got it, I got some fuel pipe which fits the "stub" snugly and blocked up the open end with a bolt, some clips and hay presto, no fuel leak.
I eventually got a new plastic plug with its washer....but Haynes says it should be replaced every time its removed for water/crap/flushing/priming session!
the o ring tends to develope a "flat" and leaks....tried an o ring from my selection box which seemed to tolerate diesel.....
is it not the taper on the plastic plug that seals inside with the o ring as an extra? I haven't had the unit off as yet for clean and filter change so don't rightly know...
