okay, the thing is, when I was filling the other day for leak testing, it was leaking at the connections, @ the heatercore barbs and a little at the t-line. But once I ran it for 24 hours, there was no more leaking.....
Is this something I should investigate a little more? because I don't wanna stick it in my case and have water spray all over, that would be unfortunate to say the least.

Was it the barbs themselves leaking or where the tubing joins the barbs? As i had a leak that cured itself when the tubing started to stick to the barb. I put some hose clamps on there just tpo make sure . If you don't have hose clamps on put them on . Could be something else tho.
 
yeah, its just leaking at the connections...so maybe it just need to be wet to make a good seal. And yes, I have hoseclamps.

Empty the system, dry all the connections and try again.
If u get water anywhere at all then you MUST look into it
.......... or run the risk of a FUBARed PC

Whatever floats your boat
