Can you see exactly where it is leaking from? I realize that thing sits real close to the ground Maybe you can take a picture.

You don't think you are over tightening the bolts do you? the seal plate gasket could leak if it were over tight (warping the plate)
Is the system pressure higher than say 25 or 30? If you had a valve closed and the pump was dead headed, it may weep some water.

Pictures of the leak in action?

You could have crimped the gasket.

Also, sometimes the metal bolt receiver will come loose from the plastic housing and cause a leak.
