My tube res has a water level sensor which has just tripped but there is no puddle, no drip or even a damp connector. It just seems to be loosing fluid very very slowly so here is my question, the loop has been in use for about 3 - 5 months since the last time i had to do some rework on it, is it possible that its just the air is now fully bleed out or could the fluid be lost through some evaporation (i know that sounds strange), there is no indication there is any sort of drip leak going on but i cant deny that the res is less full now than it was several months ago.

Whatever the issue is it is definitely very, very slow but i really would like to stop it

the problem is evaporation nothing to worry about just top the loop up :)

so this is a know issue, it happens to everyone, or is it something that happens only if your connectors aren't screwed in tight enough

It could be evaporation or air has finally bled out of those tough spots, either way I dont think theres much you can do. I would top up the res and leave it at that.
