MY RES IS LEAKING

I recently purchased a xspc d5 tank reservoir and a alphacool vpp655 pwm pump and when I tested for leaks it leaked around the pump reservoir seal. I know that there is no problem with the res, there where just really bad instructions for how to install the pump.

It just seats into place, check to see if the oring is seated correctly and still good and pliable without any cracks or defects.

You're supposed to use the oring that comes with the reservoir and not the one that comes with the pump.
