If the chimney is too short leaving it upside down with liquid I would expect it to leak out of the top, if it does just put an o'ring on the threaded part of the chimney. If you've not got an o'ring that fits you may be able to pad it out with PTFE tape, 25p from local plumbers merchant (who probably have o'rings).
The other thing that has not been mentioned if sucking to hard with the airflow restricted.

danliddle I had a similar problem with one of my KFL in that the chimney did not seal to the top cap properly. Did you get 2 top caps with it? If so try the shorter top cap (the 'O' ring recess is slightly lower than on the taller top cap) That cured the problem on mine. If not then try an 'O' ring or 2 or PTFE tape on the top part of the chimney threads to 'lift' it slightly.

I've only had one leaking problem with kfl. When your kfl is assembled have a look down through the chimney, remove your drip tip first for a better view. You'll be able to see if your chimney section is seated nicely against that top oring. If it looks even slightly off centre then I advise to strip it all down and rebuild. Don't bother with juice but take another look. If the chimney is still not seated centrally on the oring then it could well be a threading issue.
The threads on the plastic tanks are very fine and not that robust. I crossed one and it all appeared to be together fine to a quick look over but it was leaking through the drip tip and a quick look down revealed the problem straight away.
Also try a bottom fill through the fill hole, if your tank is all sealed nicely and you take it steady bottom filling shouldn't really cause you any issues.
You may have tried all the above but it's the first thing that jumped into my head after most of the usual problems seem to have been covered.
