Probably. There should be a small one where your chimney meets the top cap inside the tank.
It only leaked when filling. Was a steady stream lol but it's working now. Vapour but not plumes, but worryingly pretty dry but not burnt. Here's a pic of my deck after I had filled about 1/3 or juice and it's soaked the wick which is good, but what can be causing these dry hits?

Dry hits could be from coil Hotspots, not having a uniform coil will do that :S
Yeah, as you can see my coil is pretty loose! Although it seemed to be burning evenly from centre outwards :-/ Hmm...

Should be fine then, loose isn't the problem, it's uneven. I didn't see that last shot before my past post, I was going from the first shot of the coil
Looks like too much wick though... That could keep juice from coming in to the channels for it to soak up for vapor. Never used ego wool though... Only used organic cotton.... And the Japanese cotton that came in the mail today! 
Yeah ekowool wasn't my first choice either but that's all the vape shop had, they don't even sell it lol it was the store workers own supply haha.
Dry hits seem to be gone now which is awesome! Flavour is ok, not as good as the nautilus mini and vapour is nowhere near as much, but hey, for my first build, I'm pretty impressed with myself!!
I'll check out the vids you posted up just now, I'll go back the the nautilus for work tomorrow and try another build or 2 tomorrow evening (around 3am my time) - I know I can position the coil better, get it tighter and neater, and closer to the ohms I want, and I think you're right that there's too much wick - I removed some 3 times already to fit it through the coil!

Some quick advice....
1. Too much wick, length wise. Should be just long enough to tuck around under your coil on that little ledge over the fluid channels, without hanging out past the edge.
2. You will have better luck if your spacing is less, even if you don't make a micro/nano coil. While on your jig, wrap each time as close as possible to the last wrap without overlapping. Then squeeze together the whole coil tightly. Leave coil on whatever you use to wrap while screwing onto posts (after wrapping you should end up with your two legs on the bottom side, each leg going in separate directions). You can the use the rod to pull up a little on the coil to make sure it is not touching the deck. Trim excess off the legs, check ohms.....if ohms read good, fire till coil glows, then use a pair of tweezers to pinch coil tight again (not while firing, unless you have ceramic tweezers). You can do that a few times till everything looks nice and tidy and coil is glowing from inside out properly
