Am I screwed up here?

Ok the pipe on the left is a 2" sch 40 pvc pipe on the right is 1.5". Would be better for me to reduce that 2" pipe on the vertical side? My problem is i am running out of pipe at the bottom ? Any help on this set up would be helpful. I had some guys cut a tree down and a limb broke my original pipe.

Also if you look at the pipe on the right i do not have room for the fitting to make an upside down "U" for the finish.

it doesn’t matter.

Why not leave it alone? It looks like a suction pipe going into the pump... harmless enough as long as all your joints are sealed well (check the pump basket for air bubbles)

My joints are not sealed. The pvc is leaking

Wonder if I could put on some that flex seal tape

Is it leaking on the pressure side (after the pump) or on the suction side?

It looks to me like the pipes coming out of the ground are threaded, right above ground level. The one on the right certainly is...see picture. Can you dig around the 2" side and post a better picture of the coupling at ground level? If they are both threaded, then it would be easy to just rebuild from the ground to the pump...

The female threaded coupler has the vertical lines. The male thread (in the ground) has the telltale octagonal sides.
