When i have time, maybe at the weekend i will take it off and give it a good soak in hot water, failing that buy a new one.

To me it just looks like a bit of plastic with a hole in it somewhere, not 100% sure how the water is coming out the top, maybe time for a Google.

Its just finished a cycle with Dr Beckmanns Deep Clean in it and i am happy to say not a single piece of black stuff in the drum so very happy about that, so just hopefully need to sort out a blocked vent now.
