Hi,
At first I wanted to buy a Fluval canister filter, but they told me, that Eheim is a "Cadillac" class filter, best on the market and if o-ring is OK it won't leak...
Then:

The truth is, that Eheim 2215 Made in China is not at all like the old Eheim Made in Germany...
The plastic is so cheap, that after 8 month of use it deformed and start to leak. At first I think it was tubing problem or o-ring. But when it started to leak more - I found out a deformed plastic. Changing the tubing 3 times doesn't change anything...
Lucky me, my filter was in a 20 gallon plastic basket. Lucky me again, I have two Fluval C3 running over 29g tank. So my stock is out of danger I guess...
Now I'll contact Eheim and I'm ready to all those horror stories about it's non-existing warranty and support...
I'll keep you updated. The leak is a very serious issue...
