How bad's the leak? I had a tiny drip. Turned out my belt was too tight from assembly. Loosened it a bit and no more drip.

I haven't seen a belt out of line cause a leak. out f line causes unnessary ware on the belt and on the pulleys. Too much tension on the belt will cause a leak. Grab the bottom of the belt about half way between the pulleys and twist it. If the tension is right you can twist the belt about 45 degrees, if it won't go 45 degrees then it is too tight, if it twists beyond 45 degrees then it is too loose.
