First layer of print is uneven (bottom of the print)

Hi all, 

Hoping for some guidance on restoring health of my Prusa mk3 i3 back to 100%.

The back story is my printer nozzle became loose and started leaking, I needed to disassemble the extrude clean the nozzle and reassemble it, tightening the nozzle back in place against the heat block. 

After I did that I ran a full calibration and also found my Y axis was a little loose and tightened it. 

Since then my prints have an uneven first layer (bottom of the print) in some spots on the print bed. I have cleaned the print bed, there is nothing under the print bed, the print bed has not been damaged. 

Firmware I'm running is 3.13.3.

Please see picture below for context. 

Regards, 

Julius

It's a little hard to judge from the picture but your first layer 'Z' offset is probably calibrated too low, too much squish.

For a better assessment run the built-in first layer calibration and show us the result *on the build sheet*.

Cheerio,
