The fitting above drips once every hour if I have my Swiftech MP655 pump set at 5 (highest setting) but doesn't drip at all after 24+ hours of leak testing with the MP655 set at 1 (lowest setting). I do not plan to ever set the pump above setting "1" so should I drain the loop and fix the leak or let it run and fix it when I flush the system in about 4-6 months?

Found the problem, rat bast 90 degree elbow fitting was the issue, using a straight compression now, so far no leaks after 1 hour with just the compression *crosses fingers*

Yep - seen a lot of issues with 90 fittings, espcially the rotary ones.

Thats the very kind of fitting that failed for me. Would you happen to know of a brand or kind of angle fitting what would be more reliable? Since I rather rid my loop of the rotary elbows come system flush time in about 3-6 months.

I am using XSPC compression fittings, and Bitpower fittings 45's. I have some 45's in mine - you can almost feel them get looser as you rotate them more and more, so I make sure to adjust as little possible.
