Ok, and I didn't read front disc hub, so we're getting there. If the drive side spokes of your front disc wheel are loosening, then disassemble that side, clean threads and lube with linseed before dishing again. If nds spokes are loosening (disc side) then rebuild completely. (And use linseed oil ;) )

Sorry @simba, a final question. If the linseed oil dries in 24 hours does this mean the build/repair must be completed in that time to avoid issues of spoke wind-up?

I'm a slow builder and usually take 3 days to do a wheel doing a bit each evening or when I can grab an hour.

Yes. You need them done before the oil cures.
Maybe do one wheel at a time.
