Is my filter broken?

Hi
I opened my pool and the chemicals are balanced and my pool water is cloudy. Seems like I have fine particles within the pool.

I cleaned my filter it was dirty. I have a Hayward Cartridge SwimClear Filter C225SC.

When opening my filter to see if it dirty, I drained the filter so there was no water inside it. I then put a garden hose in the PVC pipe where the filter goes over. I noticed water is leaking from the sides of the manifold.Please refer to the photo.

is this normal behaviour or is the filter cracked? That is causing the fine particles in the pool.

How does the filter work exactly?
