enough pressure to force the water out of the tube. I noticed a slight yeast
smell around the container, so I may have a leak around my tubing seal.

TIA
Make sure the device is completely submerged - other that that I don't think it matters how deep you place it (you could argue that the deeper it is placed, the more time there is for escaping bubbles from the top of the device to be absorbed, but I would say the benefit of this is negligible)

It can take up to 72 hours from the time the device is primed to when the first bubbles make an appearance. If you think you have a leak, try painting some children's bubble mix around the seal to see if gas is escaping.
