Either the volute O-ring or the shaft seal would be my guess. See below.

 
Sounds like just bad luck. If you are sure there are no external leaks at a fitting, it's leaking from inside and will cause more damage to the motor inside the casing. You might see if it's still under warranty by the` seller.
