Well....there is a chance the threads on the bung are a bit worn (a couple of quid for a new one) otherwise you will need to re-tap to 16mm (next size up) and fit a larger bung.
Simon at Brickwerks does this regularly and will be able to supply a bigger bung if needed (think it's a peugoet part)

What engine??
WBX should have a copper or allu washer that helps seal it. normal practice is to replace the washer..
