god damn pump axle seal failed and dumped coolant in my case AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
For such a expensive pump I expected more from EKWB/Xylem. Good thing I caught it in time and didn't power on the system. Oh, and I got the money back for the PSU and bought a new Ion+ 760W.
EDIT: having disassembled half the loop it seems my reservoir has failed, and not the pump. Great, that's €90 in the trash for another res. Which I just did, I took my own advice and bought a Heatkiller Tube, a pedestal, and a 2nd HWL GTS 240 radiator for future GPU upgrade plans. (the RX480 in my main will go to this system when i'll buy a 6900XT Toxic later this year or so)
My shitlist: EKWB monoblocks and any reservoirs that use plastic i.e the Alphacool Eisstation.
