I have the Rio 1700 pump, and I also noticed a small leak around the inlet when I first connected it all together, but a small bit of teflon tape around the threads before I put the cap on fixed the problem. I'm running the pump in-line and the pump is cool to the touch, and getting great temps.

that's not good. That's supposed to be one solid piece of plastic.

I would sand the whole area down and run a nice thick bead of JBweld around that.

yeah theres two pieces the cover part and i guess this cap with the inlet and oring. i already sealed it up with jb weld
