Yeah, thanks - I'm in the far reaches of Indo - so need to try and sort a fix rather than chase a warranty and already done the usual internet snooping. Thought there may some help here with the collective knowledge.

I had an issue with a seal not working well due to too much grease on it. Changed out the seal and added less grease and it allowed the nose cone to seat better.

Just make sure the nose cone is sitting dead flat on the bottom of the board , if there is any rocker you need to pack that gap , Same if the board or boxes has some flex . Any pressure on the nose cone that makes it move up or down it will 100% leak. I've seen this on a few boards especially older ones . Can you send a pic of the board set up. If you can see daylight under your nose cone when it's bolted on the board that's your issue. Other than that everyone seems to have covered it above.

That's potentially the issue - thank you!

Good luck getting any support from foildrive. I have issues with my foildrive but receive no response/reply from foildrive after a week of seeking support. Very disappointing.

I am always surprised when people would rather jump on a forum and take a shot at a brand or business rather than picking up the phone. I have never delt with a company with better customer service than FD.

Says it all.
