well my HTPC loop decided to spring a drip, its a EK A120 aluminum kit, the spc-60 pump body is injection mold plastic so im thinking it just has to much flex or is not pefectly done. tried fitting from EK (aluminum one and a regular 3/8 barb), bitspower, Koolance and alphacool all with the same result, a drip between the fitting o-ring and pump body. 
beside a AIO i have never had a leak that wasnt my own boneheaded fault.

    yep o-ring looks perfect, even tried changing it to no avail. plenty of thread left so its not bottoming out, the pump body looks to be a little uneven, maybe the plastic they use on these MX series stuff isnt that firm. have a support ticket in with ek now, only had this setup since christmas and its my HTPC so not a lot of use on it.

    At least it was on the Pump side and not on your CPU or GPU side.

    one rma later and its fixed, the replacement one is acatel and not IM plastic and feels much more solid.
