New out of the blue leak - but only when the pump is NOT running. I plugged the inside of the pool, removed, cleaned and put back in place. Still leaking. Oring looks perfect (new thIs spring). Any suggestions on how to fix?

I don't recall, but does that o-ring need a little pool silicone? Might that help?
I would remove it and put in a plug or wrap electrical tape around it like I did.
No need to use it except when trying to aerate to raise PH, which doesn't happen very often!

Then I'd go with what Msch99 recommended. Probably much better without the aeration. FYI - Future reference, never use petroleum jelly products on pool seals or o-rings. It will tear them up. Always use pool silicone. Have a nice weekend.
