Rena XP2 finally down and out

well , it still runs.. just there's a leak in the plug I just discovered. I stepped into a bloody swamp!!!! fuck. I bought it used and its caused me nothing but grief. Luckly i only paid 40 bucks overall for it.. got 1 1/2 years out of it. Again it still works..just leaks and I dont trust it anymore. I've been switching to sponge air filers and bare bottom tanks anyways... so now I have extra live sponge and bio balls. What to do?
---------------------------------------
*EDIT

I took it apart to see what it looks like , maybe I can fix it , I do this with any broken down tech equipment. Anyhoo.. I know where the leak happened so I just fastened the "plugs" .. makes no sense what Im typing , you have to see what Im talking about. Anyhoos.. after anohter big splash down mess.. I think I got back up and running. I had to take out the top media holder for some FUCKING BIZARO reasn , it doesnt now!?!?!?!?? its fucking crazy. It pissed me off.. how!? how the fuck is that even possible?

I dunno. anyhows I set it up inside a container JUST IN CASE , it does leak again. Its been running for an hour.. the sides are dry. Doesnt seem like there's a leak and its running like it use to. Ironically when it was leaking it was running too smooth.. its strange. Anyhoos.. Im a little damp , my floor is a marsh land , I soaked up much as possible and salted the floor. Ill vacuum tomorrow , Im a little fed up right now.

Thats twice this piece of shit filter fucking made a mess. Pisses me off.

*EDIT

its been 24 hrs now , and so far so good. No more leaking.
