Problem with leaking Alky control tank

Well, Between last night and today I got everything hooked up (Piece of cake) and it seems to be working great. I took it for a short spin to test everything out. When I got home I did a check for leaks and found the alky tank to have a constant drip from the front corner where everything is mounted in the tank.
Is there anything I can do to fix this, or should I just get ahold of Razor on Monday to have a new tank sent out?






Thanks,
Mark

The mini tank comes with the clear hose when I buy them.. and the black rubber hose comes with the GM tank.. so thats why both are included.. giving you the option of which you rather use. I use the black one when I install the kits.. personally.. but thats a personal choice.

No sh*t?! Lol, I mounted my overflow over on the other side of the car and was going to use the clear hose, but started second guessing whether it could handle the high temps of the coolant. So I went to Advanced and bought 3 feet of rubber hose. Oops . At least I have a clear hose now for....something. I always find a use for random items. My wife loves that I never throw anything away. Not

In hindsight, the plastic tank handles it fine, so why wouldn't the hose? Meh, I are dumb .
