Hello there, iv'e had my custom loop up and running for about a month now and I never noticed the leak until today when I added extra RAM. There's a build-up at the bottom of my case and some of my tubes got splashed. My reservoir is about at half instead of 4/5th now. At first I didn't find the leak, it wasn't the tubing or the fittings, but I noticed a small drop forming right under the 90 degres and the side of the pump where the plexiglass meets the plastic with 2 seals. There's 2 screws holding them in place, but they seem to be thight enough. I don't really know what to do now to fix it.

Can you upload a pic? Maybe there's a chance you can RMA the pump

Oh, then you might just contact swiftech and let them know, did you ever open the loop or anthing?

I did open the loop to extend from CPU to include my 1070 SLI, but I didn't change that connection (stock fitting and tubing) the rest is changed, so I don't see how I could have damaged it or move the o-ring enough to even create a leak.

Il send them a message, but I wanna avoid an RMA at all cost. It already took them a month for them to send me replacement screws for their apogee cooler, I won't deal with another month PCless honestly. If the leak cannot be fixed normally, I think il just put some epoxy under there

Here's some pictures, the leak comes from under where the black plastic meets the plexiglass of the 90 degres.

Good luck, try to get it replaced, it may turn worse
