You mean the beckkett compartment? It's normal.

This design means the beckett is not glued in place but can be easily removed for cleaning. The compartment will allow water to seep into it but as the beckett runs, excess water gets sucked back in.

I guess I can always use plumbers tape but I kinda prefer the compartment filled with water as it helps muffle the hissing sound from the beckett.

Look for Alvy.

Highly recommend his work, especially for big beckett skimmers.

I think the medium ones, Schuran or H&S should be top of the line.
