Had the same problem on my speedmaster. I tightened it till i thought it would break and it still leaked. Then i took it off and sanded the washers on a flat surface and it hasn't leaked since. To be honest tho, it's been a long time and i can't remamber what i sanded.....washers of the banjo itself. I think it was just the washers tho, but my memory is shot. (gezzer thing ya know)

In any case, i didn't have to tighten it much at all after i sanded it which goes to show how important it is for them to be smooth.
