Pool was installed June 2024 and was only used for 3 months before taking all the lines, pump, sand filter in the garage for the winter months. There are no leaks anywhere once they were all put back together, but we did notice a leak on the front of the pump. Could this be my problem? The photos show the entire pump and then the other shows like a gap where you can see a screw… the front is loose there which I don’t remember it being loose like this last year.

Are you referring to the wet area at the top pump outlet area? It looks wet as if water is dripping out from the bottom of that hose that is held in place by the two stainless steel band clamps. If that's the area you are referring to, I would suspect it's either leaking underneath those band clamps or perhaps the fitting that hose is slipped over. Looks like there is a male adapter fitting in there sealed by the Teflon tape. It could be that as well.
The part I have scribbled out in the 2nd photo isn’t leaking. You can see the gap and a screw in that photo where the front is loose when it wasn’t before and there is no way of tightening it. The 1st photo where the 2 red arrows are pointing is where the pump is leaking.
