Thanks guys. I haven't had problems with leaking (I use beeswax and nail varnish). Just appearance. Guess I'll experiment some more.

Yes, I soak in the hottest water out of the tap. Cold/cool water has a huge impact on the flexibility of the cane, especially here where it can't decide if it's going to be autumn or not (35C last weekend... :S) and cooler water seems to vary the 'climate' for the cane too much.

My current (borrowed) cor is a DRxx - it's in desperate need of a service, but it seems not to matter what condition my reeds are in, it just sings. Despite the leaks, it is the nicest cor I have played. I hope your oboe is in a similar vein!
