Re: What is causing this?
Is that the back or front?
I have had similar on my little machine which was caused by a lump of dross stuck on the front of the nozzle, no damage was done to the nozzle, just scraped it off and it was fine again.

Re: What is causing this?
Is the nozzle orifice still perfectly round and not blown out one side?

Yes, it appears to be in good shape, guess I will change it to see what happens.

Re: What is causing this?
First, change your consumables to rule that out.
Then, it might look like you're too high/too fast.
Or lack of air pressure.
If you've been running for a while,I would check #1, then
#3, then #2.
