Ah, on the end. Plumbers putty or similar + duct tape should seal that quite easily.

I agree......so we'll see. but I need more coolant to verify. I ordered some but it will be a few days before it comes in.

Yep dogie is very correct. I was thinking bottom of pump I'm glad you uploaded

.

Should be pretty easy to put a coat of something on the end. And it should keep from leaking. That is not a critical or special part just a cap so no real harm sealing it back up.

The only thing that might be a little tricky is some solutions may require dry area which if leaking it would not be. So might make sure solution or putty is a good idea that it's able to seal even if it drips during instal of it.

I agree that it could be a little tricky. I am hoping that if the water weld epoxy doesn't work that the purple coolant by virtue of the color will change the color of the white epoxy. When I get home later I'll check out my handy work with the water weld.

Thanks again to all.

Are you talking about the black rubber bridge hose between the two waterblocks?

If so you can replace it with a better hose and clamps.

not the actual bridge but the cap on the right side. I figured it must be a drain plug/cap.

thanks to others on how to post an image. I'll give it a try tonight.

Still not sure what that is Sad

Once uploaded, you post an image to the forums like this:

found that its one of the black plugs on the bottom on the end.

I don't understand what that is referring to, can you take a picture please?

A picture would be nice. I have a feeling he means the spot where the tubes plug into. I could be wrong but I have a feeling that is what hes talking about.

i should have uploaded a picture to describe the leak better.

I told a friend of mine about it and he suggested that i get "water weld' which I did.

The leak is at the bottom....the right plug or cap. is it a drain, perhaps?

I just applied the water weld epoxy this morning. Since the water is "purple" I'll be able to see if the water weld holds.

I have to figure out how to upload pictures here too.

It is not to bad open a photobucket account, trow them on there. On posting you need to click the insert image button, the second row second one in. And you will put a direct image link between the html code.

And bottom please take a picture. I think bottom was way to open up the pump. So only thing is with epoxy you might not be able to get in it if you need to on it's motor. But if it's working that is not a big deal.

I could be wrong on which part though so pictures would greatly help.

Hi All,

I found that my c1 was leaking coolant so investigated further and found that its one of the black plugs on the bottom on the end.

Is this cover or plug replaceable? If so, where can I find one? I have the unit off until I can get this rubber plug/cover replaced or repaired.

thanks for all your suggestions.

If it is not horrible it's possible an epoxy type solution for plastic might work. It wold be a pain as you would need it turned off as it drys and it dry to work. A big question is the motor still working? When my original pumps broke the motor stopped working.

What i did and suggest doing is getting a new pump. I bought 2 of these pumps from ebay and have not had any issues: http://www.ebay.com/itm/381066536924 Been running from around since a around end of week 1 of release.

I also got a molex to fan adapter as it keeps fan's going as long as psu is on. I am not counting on any wiring from syscooling at this point.
