Welcome to Reef2Reef!
Got a picture? Bulkhead leaks are common, but two leaks sound like something else.

Don’t do this...Use alot of silicone and it takes atleast 24 hours to dry make sure its the correct 100% water proof silicone
Voila
The main issue is that the seal is on the outside of the tank. It should be on the inside between the flange and glass with the nut on the outside. Picture in post number 6.I have found a lot of bulkhead leaks are caused by chipped glass on the edge of the drilling that will not allow it to seal. Make sure the glass surface is smooth and clean. I doubt the problem is with the bulkhead.
Worked for me so far silicone goes a long way, 6 tanks and 12 bulkheads no leaksDon’t do this...
6 tanks 12 bulkheads all siliconed shut zero leaks in any of my clients tanks I would recommend checking the seals...NOT all seals are made the same. I recently had to replace the seals that came with the REEF Sysnergy Overflow system (Brand news) with the Fiji Sump Refugium Seals...The leaking Literally STOPPED!!!!I also would agree with others ((DO NOT PUT SILICONE) on this....it should form its own seal....no need for the silicone....
