Hey all,
Has anyone had any problems with a Vectra M2 leaking before? Obviously I have it plumbed externally and I have checked to make sure it's not the plumbing around it...I have had it up and running for about 18 months. Is this a common thing possibly?

Thanks
Wes

Curious - where is it 'leaking'. do you have a video or picture, etc?

Can't tell, but it's definitely not coming from the plumbing above or from the sump just somewhere from the pump. Just water under the pump being caught by the absorbent pads that I placed there to raise the pump up level with the sump opening when I installed it 1.5 years ago.

have you disassembled the pump - and inspected the O rings, etc? There is a Youtube video here:
