Sorry don't have that problem with either one of my xp3s. I do have that problem with my Eheim 2026 pro II. I leaks, but only when the power is off, to help deal with this it has been placed into a rubbermaid container. It's scheduled for cleaning this week so hopefully after cleaning the problem will magically go away.

Make sure your outer seal ring is not twisted or has a flat spot .........you can replace it jsut to make sure..........check your hose seals

You should replace ALL the o-rings at least once a year. You can extend the life of the o-rings by putting a thin coat of vasoline on them when you servace the can...
