Pump leak

[MathiasVO]

Hey all

 

one of my fittings recently began leaking(the left one on my pump/res, on the outlet) and idk if its fixable, or if i should get a new fitting, or something else?

 

thanks

Heya

 

My pump recently started leaking, I'm not sure why(it's the included pump/Res combo from ekwb A240G)

 

Whenever I turn the pump on the outlet begins to leak

I've tried swapping my fittings, nothing changes.

Can you get an image of it so I can see what you are on about.

Try to identify at which connection point it' leaking. is it the pump-fitting or fitting-tubing etc etc.

 

Usually it' just a matter of something getting loose. but since you have the aluminium kit one should be wary to corrosion as another factor.

 

Can you list out your loop components including which coolant you used and whether you used silver kill coils etc. More information helps.

The left fitting on the pump leaks whenever it runs(the outlet)

That looks like a pump/res combo, try and find a new one to see if it fixes it.

It's has to be the pump since I've swapped the fitting, and the leak stays at the outlet.

 

I've also tried some different tube, doesn't make a difference either

It is a pump Res combo from the ekwb a240g kit, and I'd rather not order a new one if I don't need to

please take a zoomed in photo of the leaking port without the fitting. Is there any chance you'e misthreaded the port and now it can't form a seal.

Honestly that'll be the most stress free way of fixing this issue, it looks and sounds like the pump/res combo is faulty.

I don't have the money to buy a new one right now

Can’t really see. Compare the threads to the other side. Look like it may have been over tightened.

Those threads are stripped out, it's only acetal so it only needs to be finger tight but there is no way to reliably salvage that unit.
