Leaking water from back of jet pump gti 2009

Hi guys, I have just noticed when I connect the hose on to flush it seam like a there is a leak above the jet pump near a yellow seal. It sprays out the side of this seal. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this before. Is it normal? Thanks

If it's slightly to the left and has small tabs sticking out, that's your reducer. They're about $15 to replace, but you'll need to pull the pump.

This is where it is leaking from either side of the yellow seal. Any ideas would be great thanks.

Is that the tab you are talking about 3ftdeep??

Yes, that's your reducer. I'd remove the the pump and replace the reducer, but you should cheque that the pump was bolted on correctly. Ensure the neoprene seal around the back of the pump is seated properly, as it shouldn't leak like that. If it's torn or badly crushed, replace it ($16). If the pump is not seated properly, it won't press against the reducer properly, and it will leak. Make sure everything's seated properly and torque to the correct specs. Good luck!
