title says it all. my wc'ing set up as leak.. and its from my xspc ddctop.. its from the threads.. i've already tightened it but i don't know how much more it could take? like am i supposed to tighten it so much its realyl really hard to tighten again? i'm thinking they didn't tap it far enough... thats why my barbs aren't going all the way down.. what to do?

You might want to try some Teflon tape on them. Snug them down well, but if you have a o-ring on it you can deform it if its to tight and that can cause it to leak to.
EDIT: I f you put some Teflon tape on it, go ahead and run it on up over the o-ring to, that can keep it from deforming as badly..

Also, for future reference. do NOT over tighten the barbs. Just till it's a little beyond a firm snug.

Do not over tighten barbs - in case of crack use JB Weld to seal them.
