I just finished my first water cooled build. It has been bled and leak tested. I screwed the cap on my cylinder res and tilted the system just to make sure the cap was sealed and there was water leaking from around the cap. There is an o ring and it has no defects.

Build:                                                                          

Intel Core I7 6700k (clocked to 4.6ghz)

Patriot Viper 3000mhz ddr4

ASUS maximus 8 hero (I hate this mobo)

Evga gtx 1080 superclocked

250GB Samsung 850 evo

2tb WD Black 7200rpm

Ek watercooling kit a240g with 360 expansion pack

Primochill Vue Red fluid

Corsair Graphite 600t (white)

 

You thought "Gee, Donald Trump sure has a great build!"

What res unit are you using, can you take a photo of the leak?

Ok it turns out the o ring was just wet and soggy. After letting it dry overnight, it works like a charm.
