This is a brand new Dual Field just taken out of the box, should the connections be screwed all the way in to prevent water leakage or is this normal for the Dual Fields/ Whites.
That looks about normal... The coil wire usually does not tighten down as far as the headphone connector...
Do yourself a favor and check the seam around the coil itself where it is put together. There were issues with pinholes on certain years... It should be smooth looking... Yours looks like a newer coil with the shiny/thicker sealant.
