thanks adrian, as stated above I discovered it was this. after removing the doubled up rings I went at it again without sealant and torqued it all to spec, and for what I could see with testing it today, it seems to be ok, but time will tell if it will stay fixed. I really hope so, it's a bloody nightmare getting under there and disassembling everything so regularly :S
