I'm sure between the two o rings there should be a really tiny spacer but.. I maybe missing this piece and I would sooner have this spacer in place despite it appearing very tight and secure at present time.
If anyone can confirm that there should be two small black plastic spacers
In your parallel thread on this, I said:
From what I've seen on this, there are two o-rings and a plastic spacer. The spacer is easily lost and difficult to replace. This is why you sometimes see feed pipes with three rubber seals to compensate for the gap. This is incorrect since o-rings require the lateral support to work properly.

I'm afraid you've lost the small spacer.
It would be worth scouring eBay for a similar sized one in nylon. Measure the pipe and the rail bore and maybe find something here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_f...pacer&_sacat=0
