So my Hayward Super II Pump is leaking from a hole near the motor end of the pump or where the motor mounts to #13 in the figure. Its hard to tell since its on the bottom. I replaced the housing gasket #5 and that didn't fix it. The impeller ring (#7) is sloppy and there isn't a gasket, just a plastic piece. Is this supposed to have a gasket?. Is there supposed to be a plug in this hole? Or do I have another bad part? What part would it be?
Hayward pump leaking from hole on bottom of motor?

I've had what sounds like the same problem twice on a Hayward Max-Flow and twice already on a Hayward Super Pump. It sounds like the motor shaft seal (part 9 on your diagram) needs to be replaced.
Good luck with it. I don't know what's going on with them, but I'm having my share of problems with it.
This link might help too.

I'd go with the shaft seal!
If you need help replacing it, there are posts here or, I can just tell you how to do it (but this is my busy time and it may take a few days)

I sure could use some help. I can't seem to get part number 8 off to access the pump seal. I have vice grips holding the shaft in place but I can't get it to budge
Disconnect from power.
On back of motor, slide a 7/16's wrench in between the top of the capcitor and in between wires. Use wrench to lock onto shaft by holding it against the shaft and spinning the impeller until it's locked.
Spin impeller counter-clockwise until it's off.
Replace seal.
Reconnect everything in reverse order as above.

okay, got it off. thank god for giant channel locks. no I did something stupid and lost track of which way the springy seal goes. does the flat metal go against the impeler or against the shaft/
Glad you got it back together and it's working great. For future reference. The flat piece goes into the recess in the impeller and the springy part goes against the casing. You should have a white ceramic piece and a black carbon piece.
