Filament coming out of top hatch of extruder

Hi all,

I've got a Prusa Mini + that I've only used a couple of hours, it was working great but since the last two days I'm encountering some problems, the filament seems to break at some point (not sure about this) and starts to come out from the inspection hatch on the extruder motor (see pictures).

I had installed a 0.25mm nozzle before, thinking that it's what was causing the issue I got back the 0.4mm nozzle, but here I am again.

 

Thanks for the help

Photo of the inside after I've discharged (their is still the part of the filament that broke and is stuck in the extruder).

What filament is this?   Have you used it successfully in the past?

Cheerio,
