I get this about every 18 months to 2 years. The solution has been to purchase a replacement lid for the milk jug. I've just paid (yesterday, as it happens) £16.99 for one online. This will be my fourth, and we're all set to go for another 18 months-2 years. Btw, I've tried dismantling the lid to clean it etc, (many times), and it seems to make no difference. A replacement lid is what's needed. Bob.
