I put this pump together yesterday and have been filling it with water all night. Water is now going into the pump but it is leaking from the connection on the left side of the pump, presumably in the water inlet. My Spouse and I just took apart all the pipes and re-attached them hoping that maybe something just wasn’t tight or wasn’t threaded correctly. those don’t seem to be the issue. We thought it was all fixed and we were checking to make sure it was. That’s when I noticed it is still leaking from the same spot. it is slow leak as in it’s not gushing but it is dripping quite a bit.

What could be my issue?

Problem may be solved! We took It all apart again and found one of the rubber washers is missing. Good thing we were going to the store next to the pool store anyway
