Hello all. Although I've been lurking here for awhile, this is my first post. So please excuse if I have done something incorrect.
I was just installing a water cooling system into a computer (it's a NZXT closed loop system with a small radiator that attaches to a 120mm fan) and I noticed some drops coming out of it. From what I can see it is coming from the radiator, and not from any of the tubes or connection points. It is only a few drops and it seems to leak only when I am moving the tubes around (such as when I was mounting it). No leaks since it's been mounted.
The cooling system is a couple years old at this point, but I haven't experienced it leaking before. I had to custom fabricate mounting this system into this computer case, and I know some screws briefly hit the radiator fins/blades. Could that have caused a leak?
Anyways, so I'm just wondering: Is a little leaking normal? Am I screwed? Should I run the system and see if it leaks any? Should I not even attempt anything, and chuck it? Any help and advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
