Hi, I was directed here after posting on Reddit, not sure if this is the best category to post in so please let me know if it isn't.
Long story short, a little over a year ago I bought a small form factor PC with some sort of custom loop installed second-hand. Recently that custom loop developed some problems (leaking from a loose fitting, full of air bubbles, and definitely not keeping the CPU temperature down anymore) and I don't have the knowledge or experience to know where to start - I've barely even changed a stick of RAM before, let alone messed with a complicated liquid cooling system.
So far I haven't been able to find anybody in my area who works on custom watercooling, but I'm hesitant to try and fix it on my own; I don't think anything's been permanently damaged yet but I wouldn't trust myself to keep it that way. Please could anyone offer advice on how to approach this, e.g. any specialists in the south east I could visit or anything I could try to do in the meantime? Many thanks.
