Is my 3090 fe water block leaking between acrylic and backplate?

Question

I didn't notice any bubble prior to running the coolant through my block. After i started running the coolant through i noticed this bubble that's slowly getting bigger now by day 2 of running my pc. Is this a defect and is there any concern that this may eventually leak out to my pc?

Here are links to pictures of the leak

Dear EvoHen,

Thanks for your response.

The water block won't leak out to your PC. It has been passed the leaking test before it packed. There is no o-ring around the circle place in your picture. It is normal that the coolant goes into that place. But it won't affect the function of the water block. Any question, feel free to contact us.
