Hey, I was just wondering about the leak issue with the cheaper Johnson pump (the $30 model) Is there any way to just completely seal the WHOLE impellor casing and what not? I mean it would be a bastard to open, but if it's sealed and running, then why open it? Thanks

Well, that's part of the problem.
If you look at the pics again, you'll notice that the impeller housing is vented, where the shaft sticks out of the motor.
Sealing those vents could cause the water leak to extend into the motor, and you definitely don't want that!
