Take it apart again, and make sure the float moves good. That is all I can think of [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

Oh yah, this is a common problem when people install these, you need to screw the drain screw in all the way on both of them. once you do that, and no more leaks. I think it is in section 4-5... Good luck!!!
