Any canister filter can potentially leak.
I have had multiple canisters leak over the years for different reasons. They were all slow leaks but if not noticed right away can still cause quite a mess to clean up.
If the worst were to happen you would lose water down to where the intake is taking in water so you would always have some water in the tank (depending on how high your intake is from the tank bottom).
I place my canisters in plastic dishwashing containers and then have battery operated water alarms in each so that they will detect any slow leaking water.
Did you noticed the leak right away? What if it started when I was at work? Roughly how long would it take for a 55 gallon tank to become empty with one of your small leaks? Also what happened to your filters? What spare parts should I buy just in case?
