I just realized I have a small leak on my primary. I have my blow-off hose rigged inside my rubber stopper and the seal between the two is not air-tight. I've tried prying and forcing it into the stopper a little bit more but it's not helping.

Should I even worry about this?

Once the beer is past the vigorous initial fermentation stage, i'll put an airlock on but I won't feel safe doing that until next weekend.

I know there's positive pressure inside the fermenter so should I just RDWHAHB?
 
Blow-offs tend to occur within the first three days. As far as the seal goes, not an issue.
