Liquid compisition

Ok so the orings are doing their job and seems not to be leaking..until the water reaches the radiator.All valves are closed and the compression fittings are sealed tight.
whats causing this??
Did i crack the exterior when scrweing too hard?

Is there suppose to be 2 orings per monsoon fitting or one?I see 2 colours)
The rad is leaking from under the sides near the metal casing.??
I may have put the tubing in the wrong holes on the rad, there are 5 vlavles and 2 holes for tubing thing is i am not sure which way.

NexXxoS XT45 Full Coper 280

I barley screwd them in the rad, must be faulty from start.

Ok so I replaced the new 280mm rad with a 120mm single rad and its not leaking, must have had a sh=== rad to start with.
Only thing is have my other 2 360mm rads got the same issue.
p.s there is a small leaking on the compression fitting near the res I have tried tightening it but still leaking;Although much more alieviated with the O ring".

Probably not then knowing the rad the alpha have protection to prevent over screwing, could be a loose g1/4 stopper
 
Anyway I have replaced the leaking rad with a 1 rad as said but I am still get drops of water coming out of the fittings of the Reservoir I have put a o ring on the fitting and secured it TIGHT.
It is leaking as we speak?
Am I missing something here?
 
Im confused. Do you not have o-rings on all your fittings? Where is it leaking from? Tube or connection?

Can you post pics of your builds and the problems?
 
I have 1 o ring on all my monsoon fittings and have connected the tubes and screwed the top fitting on fairly tight, so why is there leakage coming from the monsoon fitting???

I will try and post some.

There is a sponge that came with my large EK reservoir, does this have some significant purpose?

What kind of Res?
if it's acrylic you might have cracked it if it's too tight.
I've always gone with a hand tighten, no tools, no excessive pressure.

Is it coming from the base of the fitting or the hose end?
