Just: Check with you, does it leak when the pump is running or when pump stops?

Saw Qian Hu got a whole rack of eheim spare parts maybe you want to pop by to check if they have cause I saw they have a lot of spares part from clip to O ring.

It leaks when pump is running and when pump stop the leak is worst.
I changed the Big O ring and the Primer O ring and put silicon Grease on it and it still leaking. Not as bad as before but still have small leak.

If you drop by Qian Hu you may want to bring along your filter the sales staff there will help you to "check" what may be the cause of the leak. If you do not need their help and you know what spare parts you need there is a book on all the parts no. next to the rack so you can check the parts no.

Do updates us on if you manage to slove your filter leak.

If you do get a new O Ring, remember to get a packet of Eheim's grease (about $3-4, can use for a few times) and apply liberally all over the O ring before you slot it in. Extends the life of your O Ring and double ensure that it'll not leak.

Hehe, just saw you post that you have silicon grease already. Well then, good luck. I found it at C328 the last time I changed the ring a few months ago

i bought the silicon grease from the Dive shop.
It seem like there is a small leak coming from the hose connectors to the hose. I putting some grease over it and let it run for a few hours and see how bad the leak is.

[madnugget]

its quite easy to see which is causing the leak. if you see the sides where the handle area/area where the wires comes out is filled with water, the cause is most likely the primer o-ring. if it is the big o-ring, i will leak at the edges where the top is sitting on.. hope that helps

i checked the big o ring and primer o ring is okay no leaking now. i think is the dual hose connector leaking, very small leak. trying to confirm the leak is there and get it replaced

[Just]

confirmed that the small leak is coming from the dual hose connector. it will start to overflow down the cannister after running for 3 to 4 hrs. I apply silicon grease to the hose connector and it stop leaking for about a day. Thought it is okay but when i disconnect the hose and connect it back, the leak start again. So it is definitely not from the O-ring, must be due to the connector. The dual hose connector is very ex.
