Yes nportelli has the spin on this one. I did the same with my Ehiem 1250 and fixed it with Araldite, (two part epoxy resin). I recommend the proper long curing stuff for this, not Araldite Rapid. My pump is fine now, no leaks. Just make sure you roughen the surface to get a good bond and also be sure it is clean and dry, (use white sprit or something similar), Give the Epoxy over night to cure before handling or using it, and never be "brutal" with that area of the pump and it should be fine.
