Hopefully a new gasket will stop the leak but sometimes a PO has tightened
that bale a bit too enthusiastically and caused the portion of the casting
that is the top of the bowl to bow a bit making it hard to get a good
seal.  The pump is a sort of pot metal and bends rather easily, but when I
have encountered such a bow I have been able to rebend the top back into
nearly flat condition.
