Hey guys, need some help diagnosing a possible leak. Short story, had to replace my motor as I had a cracked motor seal plate and water got into the motor. Rebuilt just about all of the pump with a new VS motor, seals, plate, gasket and impeller. Fired everything back up and I've got tons of...

I'm trying to get in touch with the previous homeowner, but is it normal to have 3 returns but only 2 of them working? There is only one return line coming off of the pump into the ground, so the lines are either plumbed in series or the tee's are inground? Good flow out of the two that are...
