Leaking pump

[tu7ner90]

Random question regarding my pump in the back of my van it seems to be fine for at least half the day and then it will start leaking from what I can gather the bottom of the pump and lose pressure is this normal or is the pump on the way out ?

Usually when it leaks from the middle the pump is old and knackerd and needs replacing . How old is it ?

Sounds like it's frost damaged to me....replace it.

I think your right because noticed there was a tiny crack in the black part possibly from the frost of last week

If it is frost damage, he might be able to loosen the screws, reposition the diaphragm and tighten the screws up again. Otherwise, a replacement Shurflo diaphragm kit isn't much cheaper than replacing the pump, which is what I would do.
