Hi, I just updated it and i've got to say, it has improved my leakiness, it seems to leak at about half the rate it used to, however it still leaks, so i assume this is more my problem than yours.
I haven't had opportunity to code for the last few days so I'm gonna attempt what fabrice suggested and move the faces from the back to the front, I'll let you know how I get on. Out of interest, how often should I update my source? You seem to be extremely proactive in making updates.
