Possible leak?

Maybe this is the right place, I noticed this this morning. We had a cold front move in between this morning and the last time I really look at the pump.

Today I used the pump to transfer chemical from the ground barrel to a barrel that I put on my trailer. I transferred about 35 gallons.

While rinsing out the pump, after SH transfer I notice a blue color around some seals. I’m assuming it is from SH. Could it be caused from the cold front, possibly below 32 degrees, which may have cracked a seal and then SH seeped out during transfer?

Is the pump no longer any good? Does it need replacing? I have probably less than 2 hours on the pump?

Is it dripping or leaking? If and it’s still pumping keep using it. I would absolutely have a back up though.

I didn’t see it actually leak any fluid. One thing I did notice was as I was flushing the pump it kept losing pressure until absolutely nothing came out. I ran out of time to keep messing with it. Right now I am assuming it is no longer working

Probably got into the electricals and shorting it out. Take the head apart and see what happened.
