Complacency, unit passed a neg before the dive but has a known poor oring seal at one joint. if it gets knocked it can leak. in this case it started leaking within minutes of getting in. I always get a bit of moisture in the exhale one way valve that gurgles from spit, but usually takes a while to build up. Was getting some gurgling straight away (oring is at the top of this hose) and was deciding whether it was leakage of just build up. Then I got busy with failing cells and checking what they where doing, then it was all over red rover. Been looking to change out all o-rings on the unit for ages, just struggling to get parts for it. Now have no choice.

Ah yes, another lazy human like myself. Thanks again for the post Matt. Is your home build a back mount counter lung design?
