Help please. Just installed a basin mixer with pop up waste but have a small leak where the rod assembly screws in from the side. There is a plastic ball and a plastic washer that the push rod goes through which is then screwed in with a chrome screw cover. Not sure if I have the washer and ball in the correct position, currently have washer then ball then screw cover, is this correct?

I think that's right. Try tightening nut a bit more? I would also apply silicon grease to ball joint - it's a lubricant, allowing you to tighten the joint without making it too stiff, and will resist water seepage to some extent.
Thanks, I'll give that a try, I was also thinking maybe a rubber washer on the nut?

Normally the washer goes closest to the outside - ball then washer then screw cover

Thanks. The plastic ball is flat on one side so which way round would that need to go if the plastic washer is next to the screw cap.
