Leaky intake gasket, or even the teflon seals.

I really dont like teflon seals, old tech, they are relatively hard and sorta fussy, even during install. They do seal well when they are new, almost too well, and then as soon as the guide gets a little wear, they cant overcome even the slightest movement and dont seal at all.

I only use postively located Viton now, soft viton wiper that stays soft
