This is the problem with leaky masks. No one can really help.

Some say the best way is to try a different mask, tape the mask to you losen or tighten the straps of the head gear.
When all else fails, you may have the wrong size mask.

I hope this helps.

I am not sure is Comfort Gel the one that is remoldable to your face, you need to see the instruction. one type you heat to a certain temp and mold to your face. Read the complete directions or download all the PDF Files reguarding the fit and use of your mask. My mask isn't that type.

Comfort Gel was the second mask I tried and had the same problem. Leaks into my eye to the point that it really dried my eye out.

After a little experimenting in making headgear smaller, I used the head gear from my Flexi 407 instead of the one that came with the Comfort Gel. I found a huge difference. A little adjustment here and there and it is improved greatly. I wouldn't say it is the last mask I will get but in the meantime it works pretty well.

. Remember not to make the straps to tight that causes a problems as well. Good luck.
