Questions about dust separator

I feel some leakage around the hoses in my separator. Is this o.k. or should
I silicone them or somehow seal them?

Buy some good furnace duck tape the silver kind. This tape is really strong
and works great to stop leaks in all types of tubing and pipes. It will make
your hoses last a lot longer especially at the wear points.

Yes, it's working really good. That's kinda what I thought, just wanted to
check with someone else.

Thanks

Mine leaks a little too, but I still get adequate suction. Someday I
will give my DC system a tuneup and address the leakage. I know that
hoses deteriorate over time and blast gates can leak.

That depends. Are you satisfied with the performance of the system? If
so, then don't worry about the leakage. If you're not satisfied, then
you might want to see what you can do to seal 'em up.

Mine leaks a bit. I'm happy with the overall performance of the
system - so I don't worry about it. :-)
