When I started it this morning the tell tail flow was about 1/2 the normal rate. I removed the cover to get access to the tell tail hose and restarted the unit. At the top the powerhead on the port side was a small hole in a plastic cover and water was squirting out of it. Not a steady stream but an occasional squirt , After cleaning the supply tube to the tell tail the flow returned to normal. I have never noticed water squirting from the top and have no idea where its coming from. Any and all input is valuable to me. Thank you in advance.

Serial # or picture of this cover will help YOU to get an answer.----Sounds like a leaking poppit valve diaphragm to me.----But just a wild guess at this time.
