It is coming from where casing and motor are bolted together. Upper screw was partially unthreaded and is now stripped to where I cannot screw back in.
Thanks again !!
And yes I did shut it down !!!
Looks like you blew out the O-ring sealing the front and rear shells of the pump housing. Most likely due to the stripped screw. If its a machine screw you might be out of luck. If its a coarse threaded screw you may, and I stress may, get lucky with a slightly larger diameter screw.
You might be able to have a thread insert installed. I'm not sure if that is doable, but it's worth a try. And since your pump housing is a gonner anyway, you could experiment. Larger hole, new threads if there is room.
