    Your return looks fine. You should not brewed to do any thing

    As has been said, air might be leaking in through poor seals. Try wrapping joints in tape one at a time. this will help I'd the joint that is leaking

    Bottom 90* is just below water line, with a couple anti-siphon holes. That is also the only piece I did not glue into place for direction.

    If that is loc line attached to the pvc elbow and the loc line is even partially outta water that could be it. I have heard of people having problems like that and locline.
