If you are referring to the top "Mushroom" seal, it is a common leak area if the pump is not installed properly. Read the FAQ's. You need to impart some upward force to mush the seal up into head prior to and while tightening the nuts.
I use a small bottlejack and piece of 2x4 about 16 inches long to place a SMALL amount of pressure prior to tightening nuts. DO NOT put too much upward pressure or you risk snapping a stud or bolt in the head, just a little. Many peeps just use a screwdriver in one of the bolt holes to lever up.
