Jet seals

I just put new cork seals in the back SU carb of my TR3. I noticed some fuel on the lean/rich nut the first couple of days, now its nice and dry almost as if they had to seat, maybe cause they're cork? Any body else experience this? I did soak them in oil. Initially, I thought I installed them wrong but everything very cool now.

Do you use the choke very much during that time? Did you only change the two small jet glands or did you also change the larger cork seal on the sealing nut?

I think that is pretty standard, they swell after soaking, generally the chokes are hard to pull for a while and have to be pushed off. Just part of the experience.
