maybe some super glue or some plumbers tape to put around threads of the screw.

Thanks, sounds do-able. The little transparent plastic screw already have a rubber ring at the bottom though.Originally Posted by Bal3Wolf

Try replacing the o-ring of that "plug"/port and see if it helps, sounds like a bad seal.
If it doesn't help, try using teflon tape.

I don't have anything to replace the ring with

I'll try to put some tape around the threads and hope for the best.
Worst case senerio? I'll end up with a D5 resorvior with some duct tape covering the LED hole.

check the ring for any cuts or tears that could be the problem you could be putting the screw in to tight also causing the rubber ring to compress to much and not seal up very good. Some waterproof silicon thats made for plastic could fix it if you arent worried about draining it from that plug it would be a perm fix tho couldnt remove it.Originally Posted by TheLAWNOOB

In that case, I'll just duct tape it. Much easier to do, and I don't need that drain port / LED hole anyways.Originally Posted by Bal3Wolf

duct tape ftw lol it has a unlimited amount of uses i might would put a small amount of paper towels around area your gonna duct tape so they assorb the water that drips then they will dry over time with the duct tape on the outside.Originally Posted by TheLAWNOOB

I wouldn't really do that.. You'll eventually get a leak. Get another G1/4" plug, or an o-ring, don't do a mess like that.Originally Posted by TheLAWNOOB
Actually, I meant taking out the plastic screw and just duct tape the hole.

Same i wouldnt trust it with no plug at all if he does not wanna get a 0-ring or a plug id get silicon and put on the outside around the area it leaks to stop it to make sure you dont have a huge leak one day.Originally Posted by kcuestag

Sounds like everyone is on the same page.. When it comes to your computer don't do a hack job.
Duct tape sounds like a good idea but the water will eventually work its way out!
I would replace the plug or if it is actually the o ring that is bad take the o ring to a hardware store or a parts store and try to match up the o ring.. The benefit is that you would get it the same day and you would fix your issue...
now if there is a crack in it and it's a flat surface I would go to lowes and get a 2 part epoxy that would hold up to water. Just my $0.02
Good luck!!

Little of Teflon tape around the plug's threads is the $2 fix.
Duct tape in my 4 figure rig? To hold the water in the loop? Don't think so...
