I used Aquarium grade RTV, it worked great. How have you been building your sumps if you haven't been using RTV?
I guess just either regular aquarium silicone found in walmart pet section or the big long tubes of silicon that is NOT mold and mildew resistant. I never knew anything was called RTV?
You could try to "drip" some cement in the joints and wait for it to dry a bit and plug it all back in and check for leaks. Dripping it in the joints sometimes works. There's always ways to modify units to make them work.

Silicon is RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanizing) I use it at work all the time, guess the hobby/aquarium tubes don't say RTV, but the same thing.
