Mixer Tap leak
Discussion
I have this type of mixer tap in the bathroom and there is an issue at the point where the U shaped outlet goes into the body of the tap, Some brown water is seen so i am assuming that something is rusting and the U outlet is not properly seated in the body of the tap.
I cannot see how I can fix this, any ideas anyone?
Thanks

There may be a tiny screw on the back of the main body where the neck slides in.
Unscrew then slide the neck out. Change the rubber o ring.

I had run my fingers round the back of the tap and felt nothing, I convinced myself that it was some sort of push fit.
I put a mirror behind the tap and there it is, a tiny grub screw. Next job is to get the Allen keys out.
Thanks again, I appreciate your time in replying

First Allen key I touched was the right size, grub screw came out nicely. spout came away.
Cleaned it all up, including the aerator, dab of silicone grease on the O rings, noted where the recess was for the grub screw, refitted it all and job done
Thanks again,
