That valve you have to switch pump modes has a gasket. Change it. It's commonly called a 6-way valve gasket. It takes about 15 minutes to change it with a screwdriver.


You really think that could be it even though water isn't coming out of that area and it's not coming out of the discharge/waste-out drain? Where does the water go?

eta: I do have the 6-way. Its a Hayward.

Honestly, it kind of horrifies me to think of where the water is going. Hopefully, there's not a big cavity forming.

You said it leaks most when the pump is running. That's where I would start.
