After new water pump install water leaking at upper housing at motor mount pivot. All copper tube connections are verified,
any thoughts? Thanks

When that happens the copper tube has usually pulled out of the powerhead. Very common for that to happen on those motors. Usually happens when the copper tube gets pulled out with the waterpump housing. The water tube has to be inserted into the powerhead first before the lower is put back on.

Thanks for the reply, have verified multiple times that copper is seated. Have installed first each time and it fits snug in the grommet
