Your eyes are clearly better than mine, it was cracked pretty badly. This appears to be a fairly common problem with this, pretty sad there's only a one year warranty on such an expensive pump. When it comes time to replace the whole thing I'll be looking at different brands! Thanks as always to...

I didn't really see one there but I'll pull it back apart and have a closer look, thanks!

Yes, it is item 7 in that diagram. Unfortunately I don't know if any other work has ever been done to it as I just bought the home.
