The nipple pushes in a pin when it snaps in and allows the liquid to start flowing. When you disconnect the connector the liquid flow shuts off and you get maybe half a teaspoon of leakage.W P.S: Sorry if I tripped anyones HR policies for NSFW content :-) On Jan 25, 2007, at 12:01 PM, John Curran wrote:At 3:49 PM -0800 1/24/07, Mike Lyon wrote:I think if someone finds a workable non-conductive cooling fluid thatwould probably be the best thing.
