looking for anyone who is familiar with this block, i've had slow leaks since i got it. i noticed the first leak after i installed it - the inlet hole - as its slightly recessed into the block, my 1/4" fitting wasnt fully seated in the port. A bit of googling and someone advised using the included extender. That worked. The kit only includes 1 extender though.
its an eye sore and i hate it, but it works:

i've noticed i seem to have the same issue the other side, where i wish to use a bitspower temp probe. i've put up with this for a while as it didnt seem to to be dripping near anything important (plus i've had nowhere i can move the pc to drain it)
suprise suprise, somehow it eventually managed to kill my psu which has also caused damage to my mobo, i need to find a solution.

so my question is, has anyone used this port and know whether an extender is required here too? (i hope not, this is going to look stupid)
i've tried a new o-ring on the temp probe, made sure not to over tighten, but it still leaks! :mad: today i've removed the probe and reinstalled the plug that comes with the res, fingers crossed this stops it, but i'd like a temp sensor tbh. the plug is just to see if it stops. I notice it sits completely flush with the block, which is why i suspect its recessed like the other side. why ek.
