Leak - suction side, pressure side, or in between?

My thinking is if the bubble in the pump basket isn't too big, like the size of a "slider" hamburger patty (without the bun) or smaller, you don't really have a problem.

So the bubbles coming from the inlet and the inability to prime the pump when it's set to filter are normal?
