I just finished reworking my HFDC to a Wynn 35A canister, a Thien baffle and the "stovepipe" replacement for the 5" hose. In watching for leaks in the new setup I noticed a bunch in the fan housing which I guess had been there all the time. They were coming from the seam where the two housing halves are joined and also from the connection where the outlet flange attaches to the fan housing and where the inlet connects to the filter/bag ring.
I am curious if others have had similar leaks and if so what was done to address them. If this is something common then it probably should become standard procedure for these units.
For now, I have patched mine with RTV silicone adhesive caulk and it seems to be holding.
