What type of seal is it at the bottom of the filter housing?

Well, I think the plan of attack is replace the seal under the filter housing and while it's off seal up that white bit. Then put it back together and see if the bubbles disappear.....

Re: Xantia 1.9d poor running help please!
Decided to try blocking up that white bit first before removing the filter housing to replace the seal.
Two coats of silicone later and it's running again. Only been out in it once so far and it seemed to run better. Couldn't see any bubbles in the clear line anymore after the short run. This morning after the same run (it ran badly) there were lots of bubbles winging their way down the tube.
I'll update again after a few more miles of testing

Well so far so good. Been about 40 miles or so today and it's behaved itself so far.
