Apparently, the ribbed white tube is not connecting correctly to the metal pump top; they've had this problem before. They sent me a whole new white interior tube part. The new part fit nicely, staying with the metal pump top when pulled up instead of separating like the original piece did. Unfortunately, it failed to pump any soap up, even after diluting the soap. I e-mailed Blanco with the results, and a company representative called me the next day to coordinate a time when I could be at the sink.
It turned out that the ball bearing at the top of the white part they sent me had disengaged from the top I later found it disguised on my speckled granite counter ; the plastic tongs that had been holding it in place had broken away.
They sent me a second replacement part. The second replacement part fit just like the first replacement, but this time I identified the ball bearing was held correctly in place. The pump has worked perfectly without leaking ever since. As this was well under a year since purchase, the parts were free under warranty. TL;DR: This issue was solved by contacting the company and replacing the white tube part. Sign up to join this community.

I prefer the built in soap dispensor and haven't had any problems with mine in 15 years. I did hookup a never mt contraption which makes it so much easier than having to refill the bottle under the sink, mine is not a top fill or I never tried to fill it from top so who knows, I threw the bottle way after the never mt hookup.
Yes, this is a love it or hate it topic. Personally, love it. Agree with using a funnel to fill it from the top. Can't stand having to move a soap container around, and with four boys, the thing becomes pretty messy container itself and the counter beneath. Regardless of the type of soap dispenser you have, fixing a leaky dispenser is a fast and simple process requiring items that are already close at hand in the kitchen or bathroom.
In less than five minutes you can have a drip-free soap dispenser with no more worry about slippery work surfaces and unsightly pump heads. Remove the entire soap pump including the straw and pump head from the bottle. Clean any excess soap from the pump and fully submerge it in a bowl of hot water.
With your hands and the cotton swabs, remove all traces of soap from inside the pump head, the straw and around the lip where the dispenser joins the bottle. It may be necessary to refill the bowl if the water becomes too soapy. Check the pump for cracks or chipping, as these are a common cause of drips.
