Pretty vague explanation of the leak. So I'll go through all of the scenarios:

- Pump pot lid O-ring is worn, leaking when pump shuts off, replace O-ring
- Pump pot lid warped, leaking when pump shuts off, replace lid and O-ring
- The pump housing is cracked, replace the pump housing or go with a new pump.
- Pump pipe nipple inlet/outlet is leaking, re-do the pipe nipple threads with sealant. Use Pipe Joint Stik sealant and a CPVC nipple for this area, do not use Teflon tape.
- If the leak is between the black pump pot housing and the motor, there is a strong chance your shaft seal is no longer sealing. You will need to replace the shaft seals and since it's being opened, replace any O-rings between the housings.

Just an observation on your photo, there are some electrical safety issues I see right away:
- Connect up your (dead ground) Bonding Wire.
- Use flexible liquid tight electrical conduit and connectors on your power supply to the pump motor. You're currently using an indoor home wire that was not meant for outdoor/water type connection.
