Thanks for all the help so far. I have replaced the seal between the pump and housing. I turned the pump back on and the leak SEEMS to be taken care of; however, now the pump is "buzzing" and it is tripping the circuit breaker. Any thoughts.

I have a Jacuzzi Magnum Force pool pump that is leaking from behind the ring that mounts the motor to the rest of the pump (don't know the term.) I took the ring off (it's about 7 inch diameter) and there does not appear to be a gasket/seal behind the ring. Is there supposed to be? I have read on the web that it may be the shaft seal o-ring that's leaking. If that's the case, should I take the motor to a pool supply house and have them change it out?
