I wish to stop water leaking from input sleeve?

Water input to cistern comes through top lefthand side inlet.A metal tube [sleeve] carrys water.The plastc float has a metal tube which fits flush into the sleeve[no screw].It is leaking .Would a silicone grease coating help.or is there no answer but to replace?
