EK DDC pump leaking

[nulldotzero]

I'm using EK-KIT L360 (R2.0)
During the last week I noticed that the fluid level is decreasing slowly. Yesterday I flushed the system, took almost all of the liquid out. Rubbing the pump/reservoir combo with clean paper revealed that it is where it was leaking. Like leaking so slowly that it gets dried up, not causing any damage, but the paper got stained. So I removed the reservoir part, cleaned it up and then removed and re-seated the o-ring. I put the reservoir tube again and filled the system up.
Now the pump is clean on the outside but I noticed that the hole in the chassis of the pump top (above the inlet port) is slowly getting filled with liquid. The faster the pump works, the faster it fills up. Please check the attached picture.
How do I solve this? I don't want to be risking my system because the pump is leaking, it is positioned right above couple of hard drives.
Thanks in advance!

I would drain the loop then RMA the pump/res. Not worth the hassle of fixing yourself unless it is out of warranty. I had a leaking pump and I tried fixing it 3 times and it only slowed the leak so I forked over $100 for a new MCP655 which was totally worth it haha. Quiet and powerful.
But yeah Id say get an RMA of it

Make sure that the tube reservoir is correctly screwed on the pump top. If it's correctly in place, you will have to go through the RMA process.

Did you bought the kit directly from the EK website or from a reseller?

Thank you for your answers, I've already asked for RMA through the reseller. The problem is not the reservoir and how it is attached, because the liquid is appearing from the bottom of the hole. I stuffed it with toilet paper and it got dried up (the same thing you do with a running nose LOL), only a small orange smudge was visible where the crack is. Using a wet cotton swab I rubbed it and it started leaking again. It's so small that it's not visible but managed to photograph it using my phone.
So, kudos to the engineer that designed the pump top and put this hole right above the port where the fitting gets screwed.

RMA is best bet here. No sense fooling about unless you do something drastic like epoxy which will be permanent.
