initially when i first added water. it was leaking on one of the connectors to the GPU. it was because i was using the supplied little black rubber o ring that goes around the connector but because the fittings already had one, it leaked because it wasnt on tight. fixed that and removed the o ring, dried out the effective area and added more water and all is well.
