Camelbak reservoir leaking

[Mr Scuttleman]

My Camelbak Mule 3l water reservoir is leaking at the top. It looks like the rubber is not sealing. I had started cleaning properly with Milton (maybe this is responsible for damaging the rubber - unlikely). Any fixing tips? Presume just need to buy another. Shame as this one is perfect otherwise. Can use for spares if can't seal properly.

2 weeks silence. Look like there's no fix for Hennessy's leaky bladder.

I remember seeing bladders for sale in Decathlon for a lot cheaper than the official Camelpak ones.. Might be worth checking the website. The Belfast store delivers to ROI if you call them

By leaking at the top do you mean the opening for filling the reservoir? If so, have a look at the o-ring. There may be dirt in/around it that's causing a leak or it may need to be replaced.

Thanks. Annoying.Only have it 18 months. Soaking wet arse after every ride, even on dry days. Thought that it might be a common problem with a quick fix. Just realised that Camelbak have a 'bak' policy if the gear is faulty. Slammed the buckle in car door when I was trying to stand it up so need to sort that too. Going to get the 2l lumbar camelbak charge 10 LR. Will fix the mule as a back up or for longer rides.
