Most systems leak to start with. You just have to deal with them.

This may sound a little odd but I find that connections leak when the main seasons change...i.e winter into spring...this is the time now when I do a review and change seals/rubbers etc.

But in general no you should not have leaks....

He's right man... ;)
dripps & leaks will cause problems...drop in pressure etc...or even rot whatever it drips onto...even if it dont rot it will start smelling & going mouldy......
I'd personaly sort it even if it meant buying new connections ;)

As Spencer Priory said man????
if its jg push fittings etc....
