Last week I purchased an Omas Extra on eBay (ugh) and it is leaking and pooling ink where the nib and feed fit into the section. The feed does not look to me like an Omas feed and the way feed fits into the section does not look right at all. It looks to me like the wrong feed is just jammed into the section. (see attached photos) Any opinions on what might be going on? Thanks

Right nib, right feed, not set properly.  They need to be pulled and reset in the thread bushing  with the nib down farther on the nib.  If the bushing is damaged (cracked) it needs to be replaced.  OEM Omas parts are not available, but I make and install replacements made out of PEEK.
