yep, it will certainly cause a leak. If you were to totally unscrew
the jet housing (cap), you'd probably see a rubber or plastic washer
behind it. It might be necessary to replace that washer. be careful,
mine leaked a month or so ago and it was because someone had OVER
tightened a couple of the housings and cracked the threads.
