    I have a small leak and can't find where.

    I have a T3 res, Swiftech CPU block, Bloodrage NB WB, and a Black Ice 240 rad.

    I have air getting into the system from somewhere but I can not find any water anywhere, I suppose it is so slow it is evaporating before a drop can form but how do I find out where it is with out taking the whole thing apart?
    Thanks

    If you are getting air into the system, then it must be on the sucking part of the pump?

    what liquid are you use btw? if it's a new setup then very likely it's still air in the system.

    I am using PC ICE.
    It has been over a month since I last tore the system apart, and when I refilled I shook the system, rotated, and topped off several times that day. Since then I have had to add more coolant every 4-5 days (about a cap full). I thought It would be trapped air as well but it just keeps coming back and back and back.
    It maybe from the pump side but I put silicone between the backing plate and res before I put it together. I will try another bead of silicone on the outside of the pump, but I kind of doubt it.
    I guess there is no easy way but to go through the whole thing again, more silicone, and leak test each part.

    I have my T3 bought 2 months ago
    the first month all good until I saw that itīs leaking water from the side of the res

    remove the res on my pc and has a crack where it holds the T3
    I use distilled water and silver

    I sent brian a ticket RMA ask if still under warranty and he said yes
    but he told me to wait until they have it on stock

    send a ticket and that I have been waiting for about 1 month
    trying to have a RMA number
    it seems that they are ignoring me
    my T3 is under warranty

    I will wait a little and if they do not answer ,I'll throw the res
    Iīll just buy 2 EK res to finish my rig

    if you see this BoxGod I think you would have to talk to brian
    so if you have the T3 on warranty sent a mail to brian quickly as you can because you will have to wait 1 month so that they will answer you
