Right it seems I still got this leak but I think I've tracked it down if you watch my video again. Go to 1min 9sec and you'll see a gold looking plug about center of the screen. This thing is the culprit I think as there's oil under it but none above it. What is it and what happens if I try to undo it to change the copper washer ?

I thought it might be been that. Am unsafe to just undo it or is there anythin I should be aware of before I jump in and take it off ?

I've never taken one off some can't be sure ,but I THINK it's just a blanking plug

I can't see it leaking either unless it's come loose
