Ok so at the moment my water cooling loop is loop testing with the UV fluid (Feser One) and it's passed until I awoke this morning and found a small circle of fluid near the pump. This is the top barb and I refitted this multiple times and went as far as to spread the tubing violently over the retarded plastic Swiftech Barb. The Pump is the MCP655-A. I cut my tubing straight as well. How could this possibly leak. The Distilled Water loop test yeilded amazing results with NO leaks and now I get this...Also, I have a DangerDen Bay Resevoir and it's making swirling sounds and there were bubbles in there. Is this safe? When do I add more fluid. Do I need more fluid (I have about 1 cm of air at the top of the res.) I have no more fluid and would need to order more if I do indeed need more.

Are using clamps? Maybe re apply the tubing, If the pump itself is leaking RMA it, if your short on fluid just add a little distilled water to the loop.

Yes, I'm using clamps (Worm Drives) I reapplied the tubing multiple times and the pump seems fine? Could it be too tight and I couldv'e damaged the little piece of tubing on the barb? I never knew I was able to add distilled water :P Are you sure

yep, adding distilled water is fine, a lot of people just run distilled water with some biocide added.

Put a thick phonebook under the front of your case, that will keep coolant over the barbs in the back of the bay res, it will bleed faster that way, it wont be sucking air back into your lop...Keep adding water as you need to till its bleed...

like ira said u have to tilt the case and add fluids, what size tubing are u using? ever since i switched to 7/16 i haven't had any leak issues and i just use zipties on my bards, did u use any teflon tape on ur barbs??

i'm using 3/4. And hating it. Next build should be 7/16th like they all say :S. I'm gonna use teflon tape to seal up the semi leak thingy. It dropped one drop and never leaked again. It's weird...

well hopefully that's just leftover drops. keep an eye on it and don't overtighten the barbs cause the o-ring might get crushed.

It hasn't leaked for over 24 hours. I'm getting Teflon Tape just in case for the top barb of the pump. Could be the o-ring or the pressure/orientation. I double checked the clamps and it isn't too tight
