Hayward S200 Sand Filter leaking

[whitcincy]

My pool filter is leaking and Im not sure where to start. I have attached a picture. It is small drip from the seam but it is pooling from somewhere else, but I am not sure. Thank you for any suggestions.

Welcome to TFP! Can't really see much in the pic other than the standing water puddle. But if it's leaking at the seam, that's never good. Your filter looks like it's been around the block once or twice? Are you the original owner? Maybe time for a replacement?

Im not it came with the house that I am trying to flip and sell.
Is there an other possible fixes i should try before getting a new filter?

I'm afraid not. Once a filter vessel begins to crack, it's a potential explosion waiting to happen with the pressure inside. Always best to replace a cracked filter.

Those filters usually leak at the top cap or the body gasket. Both of those places are usually easy to repair by replacing the o-rings.
