That impeller housing and plate are worn, water is probably escaping up and out of the center of the impeller housing. I don’t see evidence that the seal housing is bent upwards and contacting the SS housing, I think the wear is probably from years of use. I’m not a fan of the Sierra impellers, but everyone has their own experiences. In this case, I don’t think it is the fault of the impeller, it is just unable to seal with the grooved SS plate and impeller housing….
