Phantom Air Pocket Problem

Recently i had to replace XSPC 750 pump/res in my system after it died on me.

Since i replaced the pump/res and tubing i have been getting large pockets air forming at the output barbs of both the cpu and gpu blocks that never seem to move with the flow, they seem to grow faster when they system is under full load although the cpu is running well within normal temperatures (even under full load) although the gpu is running a little warm when pushed to its limit, but the temperatures rapidly drop when no longer under load. (Neither is overclocked currently until i can fix the problem)

At first i thought it was a loose hose letting air in so i replaced tubing and replaced all the barbs with compression fittings but the problem has remained.

There are no noticeable leaks anywhere in the loop I can find and no matter how many times i move the air pockets to the res the water level never seems to drop significantly although the loop seems to be ever so slightly pressuring itself (there is an audible hiss when removing the filler cap).

Any help or suggestions would be gratefully received.

Sorry: I could have sworn i posted this to the water cooling section could a friendly mod move it. Thanks
