Really? That doesn't sound good. Do you think it's the system or the people mounting it incorrectly?

The threads I read, either had the fitting in between the res and pump leaking, or the gasket on the CPU block itself sprung a leak. One guy talked about before even installing the block, to tighten the screws down first. He said it helped.
And for safety, you always want to leak test your new water setup before you mount any hardware to it. I myself ran mine for about 8 hours, just in case. You might do the same just to be sure.

Again, I would recommend you put together a system piece by piece. It's not hard to install, and I believe it would cool better.
Just IMO of course.
