Hello,
 
Instead of the normal cooler i used a EKWB watercooler and stuffed the normal watercooler away but when i checked some boxes today it appears to be leaking.
 
Is this a common occurrence?
If no, did i do something wrong? (nothing appears to be broken, it was always handled with care.)
If i didn't do anything wrong, what about warranty?

Thank you for your answers.

    Thermal pad leakage. Not a problem. Your warranty is fine.

    Hey,
    Thanks for your help, turns out there's (non conductive) oil in the thermal pads that can slowly "leak" out and create a bit of a mess.
     
    For future reference:


     
    Case closed.
