Default DTek Core leaks! Ack!

I finally got the rest of my watercooling parts and spent a good amount of time measuring, cutting the hose, asmbling the whole thing, and my hands are really sensitive--dunno how many layers of dead skin was removed . when i started filling/bleeding the loop, i saw that water was coming out of the dtek pro core

has anyone else experienced this and if so, how fast is dtek on replacements? i'm now stuck on my laptop, which has pretty much nothing installed, until i can get a replacement core.

after my findings, i shot off an email to dtek last night. hopefully they'll respond soon.

[edit]
fixed. it seems like the fins of the pro core can soak up a lot of water (externally) which gave the impression of leakage. if you notice the same issues, fill up your rad with water to the barbs and let it dry overnight or longer then do the "shake test." another test suggested was plugging up one barb, attach a tube to the other, place the core and barbs under water, and blow into the tube. you should see air bubbles coming out of the rad, else it might be leak-free.
