    Its hard to tell if its a leak when it is a seep. When you can hold out your hand and capture droplets, that's a different kind of leak, Sir.
    Hmm, now that I think about it, maybe your use of the term "seep" is appropriate. But I still think water is seeping from a tiny hole or holes in one of the radiator tubes. One more question: are the fans blowing up? That might account for why the "seepage" is accumulating on top of the rad. And please don't call me "Sir" even in sarcasm, it makes me feel old, and that hurts my feelings.

    I was just trying to be clear, eth0s, not trying to make you feel old. I use sir all the time, just out of habit.

    Yeah man my fans are pulling up and out of the case. The rad is situated in the top of my case when mounted in it. The fans sit between it and the inside of the top of my case. Screws are from the top through the fan and into the radiator. I have triple checked that they are not too long.

    It is indeed a weird situation. I haven't seen any little jets of water at all.

    What would be cool is if we could pressurize these systems, like automotive systems, to check for leaks. The purpose for pressurization in automotive is to raise the boiling point, but it comes in handy for leak testing too. I would just be scared to put too much pressure on this little system and damage the radiator or tubing.
