hard to tell which part is leaking, also it was leaking from the plastic tube which sticks out under it, is this connected to the matrix?

get the matrix, put your phumb over one of the outlets and pour water down the other,
see if it holds water,

Fubard then
atleast you know what is, how long did it take you to take the matrix out?
perhaps you couid write up a little guide on how you removed it , to help others in the future
