Help with leaking gpu waterblock.

I bought this block used and and it was seeping for 3 months. I cleaned the block and it started leaking worse. I am just wondering if there is a way to repair it. It was modified by previous owner for hd 7950. (I know water cooling is not necessary, but it makes it quiet.)

I'd just get a new block.

 

There's a much less lower risk of damage to components down that road as opposed to trying to repair it.

Not really surprised it's leaking.

 

Doesn't appear to have an O-ring.

FLEXSEAL/FLEXTAPE just ask jontron for some

 

all jokes aside you can seal up the plexi block with flex seal if you can find another oring or replacement piece of plexi. but i think you need an o ring so flex glue will work

I just realized I omitted the o-ring I do have it and was not the problem. There are grooves in the metal.

 

Thank you to everyone who replied.
