It got warmed up...leak stopped, and literally never leaked again...even up until the day (2 yrs and many many miles and trips later) that I sold it to my sister...its still fine...I figured it must have been the cold retracting the metal, but wow...weird...I am originally from Florida, so that was new to me...
