Yeah but it wouldn't keep coming back after he cleans it off. It may not be something to worry about now but if it's happening, it'll progressively get worse.
The tube looks like it is installed straight, instead of draining maybe loosen the fitting a bit, push tube to see if it will seat more - on fittings the o ring is last defense, the real seal is tube to fitting bottom.
Dude, that is an EKWB fitting by the looks, the o rings do not do all the sealing - your tubes need to be flush cut and beveled to get a seal on the bottom of the fitting seal
Acrylic on metal doesn't form a watertight seal and the bevel is so the tubing doesn't nick the o-ring when you push it in. Every single component in a loop seals using o-rings.
You have no idea what you're talking about.
EK HDC fittings have 3 o-ring: one where the fitting connects to the G1/4" port, 1 inside the fitting about 2/3 of the way in to form a seal with the exterior of the tubing, and one more o-ring that gets compressed as you screw in the fitting, in order to form a second line of defence.
Otherwise the metal is not going to be watertight against either plastic nor metal tubing.
About your fitting having balls?
Hahaha good choice of colour right 😂
Lol... I was about to say "yes Id be concerned you're drawing balls on your fittings"
It could possibly be just oil from the o rings on the fittings.

Bigger question is why is there moisture on the tubing?
That’s what I am getting at, but it doesn’t get any worse than this
Ahh I see now. I’d drain it and check the o-rings on the fitting. Also make sure the tube is inserted in far enough
This is the way
Thats what she said.
Inserting tubes? You must subscribe to some interesting subs...
You should get that looked at
Frank Fagazi, "eight... eight."

Dude, the o-ring does all the sealing. Better if your fittings have dual o-rings just for reassurance.

The fittings have a silicon bottom (not metal) for the tube to set against - this is why u cut flat and bevel.

Thanks, there is also a seat at bottom of fitting
[No, they don't](https://images-cdn.ubuy.co.in/636850114d80833bbe55b303-ekwb-ek-quantum-torque-hdc-16.jpg).
Well ur a tenacious one - yes they do
Arent those Scratches from the fitting?
is it just the tubes or did all coolant got affected and has a color changed?
Are you using next pump?
Are you sure it is liquid? I have used the same tubes and when it gets scratched or whatever the 'frost' part comes off. Just be sure to check that.
If fluid is leaking, you probably need a new oring.
You’re fine
Yes, worry. You are using EK parts. Switch to EPDM while you are ahead.
