Small leak in piping around pump:
I have a small leak at where the PVC pipe joins my pump housing. In the photo, I marked the exact spot by leaving a toothpick there (see pic 1). Pic 2 is a close up and pic 3 is my system. The size of the leak is about 2 to 3 drops after an 8 hour run with the pump so it’s by no means significant. Given the small leak, can I just dab some silicone caulk around the the joint. If so will it damage the pump housing? I don’t care about the PVC as if it were ever redone it would be tossed and replaced. If I do nothing, how soon will it be before the leak gets significant? What caused it? Thanks in advance.Small leak in piping around pump
