Thank you for posting your question here on Fixya.com. Your pump seal is leaking. They wear out over time and need to be replaced. Separate the pump at the big steel band. Turn off the breaker and disconnect the electric feed. You can now move the motor and pump guts to work on it. Remove the diffuser and impeller and you will see the seal. Replace it, reassemble and reinstall the unit and your all done. For parts or if you need help with the repair, contact a local electric motor and pump repair shop. Depending on the age of the pump it is one of two seals and may need a new heat sink. If this answer does not fix your problem, please comment with additional details prior to rating the answer. Positive feedback is appreciated once your problem is solved! John
