My main water shgut off valve is very discoloured, like a greeny/blue colour, and when I open it up again after shutting off the water, therev is a small leak around the spindle of the tap, and each time I have to tighen up a small nut on it.

Are the 2 things related and does it matter that the valve is discoloured.
Thanks

Yes....and No ;) that`s the gland nut b.t.w.
 
Forgot to mention that a freind told me to spray it with duck oil. I've not heard of that before, but if I do, will it help?
