    Thanks Carl! 2 questions

    A) I'm going away for a few days. Is there anything I can try as a stop gap while I'm away? Silicone, plumbing cement?
    B) any chance the pump is louder then normal due to this leak?

    1) I don't know--it's a fitting under pressure.
    2) It's possible but the pump may not be sitting on its base well.
