It is extremely unlikely for your unit to suddenly spring a coolant leak considering it was never liquid-cooled in the first place. You might try asking Apple anyway, you never know...

i thourght the dp g5's where lliquad-cooled, or maby that was the dual core g5's

The Power Macintosh G5/2.5 DP (PCI-X) (June 2004), Power Macintosh G5/2.7 DP (PCI-X) (Early 2005), and Power Macintosh G5 "Quad Core" (2.5) (Late 2005) all have a liquid cooling system.

so my mac is liquid cooled (mine is the 2.5 dp pci-x)

My bad. I thought the 2.7Ghz from 2005 was the only liquid cooled model. My apologies.

no probs, it wouldn't be the end of the world if it broke, i only use it for cpu intensive tasks (video encoding ect)

i just pulled apart my pm g5, it is water cooled, and it isn't leaking(yay)

Seems that many of them leak. It seems that every few times I visit lowend mac or xlr8yourmac I see new posts about the issue.

From what I have read Apple has even replaced units out of warrantee with a quad core mac pro.

Maybe then, if you're lucky, it will start leak when you'll put it together

actually i think there is a very very small leak in it, as when i started it up without the case or cpu cover on i could hear air in the system

Inspect hoses, waterblocks gaskets (seals?), radiator and pump connections carefully. If you will see any leak signs (or green/gray/white stain anywhere) - you got it Flashlight will be helpful.
