Custom loop leaks :(

[Hkh]

So, I just finished my custom loop and I started putting coolant into my res. Of course the first thing that happened was the coolant exiting the res as quickly as possible. What went wrong here? Are the fittings not tight enough (tightened them by hand until my fingers slipped) or are my bends just fucked?

If the video show exactly where the coolant is coming from i am sorry, i won't DL the video you put cause i don't trust the source. 

 

You didn't say exactly where the coolant is coming from, is it the fittings where the fittings screw into the reservoir or the connection between the reservoir and end cap or is it from the fittings where the tube goes into the fittings or somewhere else?

 

I can say that it could be a few issues, it could be the an o-ring not sealing properly, it could be the reservoir not properly tightened to the end cap, it could be a port plug that is loose too.

Can't watch vid

 

Where is the leak?

 

If it's coming from fittings the end of the tube may not be cut straight enough and/or isn't covering the barbs.

Sorry for not specifying. The video shows the fitting leaking, the leak is from the reservoir to the cpu (i only got to filling in coolant to the res). The leak is coming from the outer end of the fitting. It loojs like a problem with the seal between the tube and the fitting/res. I might try to replace the fitting.

Prolly messed it up. Hose isn't on enough or the outter fitting isn't on right. Most issues are user error, just built a rig with bitpower compression fittings and gave me zero issues, didn't even bother to test leak, just ran it.
