Probably the weep hole. It indicates that the impellar shaft seal is worn and needs replaced. Unfortunately not all pumps can be rebuilt and some must be replaced,check with the manufacturer to see if a rebuild kit is availabe as the entire pump on some models can be quite expensive. Shop around for better prices than the manufacturer. The internet is a good place to compare prices, sometimes they are even negotiable with the parts stores, try it!
