yes thats were it looks wet or drips from on old pump and now new pump less then a mouth later Are they just junk pumps
From your photos, it looks like that is simply the end that points down when it is installed, so the drips will appear there regardless. Try taping or tying a piece of tissue paper around the circumference midway to see if the drips are actually originating instead from the end with the fluid tubes, which is much more likely.
