I'll just tell you what I would do.

I would take the top back off, remove the seal and inspect for and warping or damage. Then also check to make sure there is a clean surface where the Seal connects to on both the canister and the part you removed the Head.


Once that is complete if no problems were found I would go back and make sure all your cartridges with media and little hose's that connect them together in side the canister with the little rubber fittings are in place. Then put her all back together and give it a try.

If it still leaks, I would take it to my Local LFS and let these guys have a hands on Look, they should be able to identify the issue and order the part or parts you need.

Hope this helps, a leaky filter is never fun.
 
Howdy,

I agre with the first half of Dave's approach: Take it all apart. Clean it. Make sure the seal is straight, tight, and there's no dirt on the sealing area. While most leaks are user error, its good to know that Eheim's 3 year warranty will take care of any hardware issues. Before you go to your LFS, call the Eheim service hotline. Unless, of course, you bought your Eheim at your LFS. Then these guys should be able to take care of it free of charge.

But I disagree with taylor. I had the pro 1 (same head seal), and the seal never leaked...
