I had a slow leak out of a fitting that went between 2 different hose sizes that dripped water all over the top of my 9700 for about 24hrs until I noticed it, while it was on, but suprisingly nothing ever happened. I've also had a small drip from my pump intake housing that was slow enough it would evaporate before getting anywhere, but after a LAN or two, it got bigger and bigger until the entire bottom of my case was flooded and started spilling out onto the floor. It completely soaked the foam pad stuck to my pump relay and nearly touched the contacts. If I hadn't put my foot in the water that spilled out, I probably would be a very unhappy dude right now. I also keep my relay at least an inch off the floor now.

I had also gotten a bay-res and had taken out the angled barbs to put in straight ones, but ended up using them anyway and since they fit so tightly I didn't think they would need any sealant - wrong! Another slow leak, again fixed with Plumbers Goop.

I've encased the entire front housing of the pump (a Danner) in Plumbers Goop, as well as gone completely to 1/2 fittings all around so I could get rid of the converters and am leak free.
