    Are you using cansiter filter to pump the water into the chiller or using internal or external power head?
    I always find a small pool of water sometime at my inlet of my chiller until I discovered there are a slight crack in the inlet screw thread.
    I suggest you might want to do a thorough check on your pipe, horse and joints.

    If it's coming from the bottom, from what I know, there's 3 possibilities :
    1) Condensation as mentioned by Shadow
    2) Locking screw connecting water lines loosed due to compressor & fan vibration during operation
    3) Not sure on this one but could be possible gas leaking too. Say about few months from now, if you cant get the temperature you needed, you'll know you have a leak.
    Both 1 & 2 is easy to be solved, if you know how. If not, just ask the serviceman to do it for you when you send it for service.
