dr. leaky discovers 5k Man

[Kneale Brownson]

In my experience, that rapid a leak without a discernible spray from a hose 
is the center seals of the pump.  The leaking usually runs off the bottom 
of the middle of the pump.  You can see it usually on a 5K with one of 
those mirror-on-a-stick devices.
