With nylon fittings and teflon tape I've had zero leaks on mine, but I will admit it is a bit noisy. And you do need to use silicone sealant in place of the crappy rubber o-ring on the intake. For under $40, it's a hell of a pump. I will be upgrading to an MCP350 however, since it is tiny, uses 3/8" barbs, is much quieter and has serious head, which is just what I need for my Storm G4. You could get two Mag 3's for the price of one Swiftech pump. But the Swiftech pumps have quality where Mag 3's don't. They're quieter and last a lot longer, so the price is justified.
