Is your flow control valve on the inlet side of the reactor or the outlet? If it's on the outlet side, switch it around to the inlet side (ie. between powerhead and reactor). This way the reactor can't pressure up. Also check to see all hoses are seated all the way in. Sometimes when that's not enough you can take some twist ties, or zap straps, and squeeze the hoses onto the fittings, or the rubber ends onto the hose inserts. Last but not least open up the reactor and check that the O-ring is still in there, and that there isn't a little bit of debris interfering with the seal.
It's not the flow, my carbon reactor leaks like crazy if I let it, and I run way slower flow through it. I had to do all of the above to make it stop leaking.
