So i noticed there awa sa light hairline crack in the flowmeter, it's one of these:

SO i was thinking of replacing it or just "join the 2 tubes together" i have compression fittings, what would i need to just replace this and have the 2 tubes joined together with compression fittings?

sorry for the noob question, my google skills are failing me :o

this is the fittings & loop in the setup:

13/10mm Matt Black Compression Fittings
13/10mm Clear High Clarity Tubing
 
I think your looking for a Male to Male or Female to Female extender. Isn't it not better to just get more tubing and connect from component to component rather than component -> coupling -> component as you probably need to empty the loop just to replace the cracked flow meter?
 
Problem with clear acrylic. Eventually most will crack, but when a crack is visible, not necessarily will be catastrophic but more will follow.
As long it isn't located next to any component where a eventual leak may cause damage, not as urgent, but if you can replace it, simply do it and rest your mind.
 
If it's inside where the O ring/gasket is
I would replace it
Not sure about super glue
As it's not very flexible and not sure how well
It handles heat
I have repaired cracked pump/Res combo before
But I used instant gasket
The stuff used in cars as it's flexible
And rated to handle extreme heat too
The pump/Res combo still works years after I repaired it
 
the crack is on the outer part, single <1cm hairline, every 30 secs or so a drop generated and popped out

with the glue it's cleared up now and as been clean for a few days

the gpu temp seems to be lower under load by a good 5-6 degrees now
