if pump is making pressure shouldn't it be ok?
Dead-head a pressure gauge into the output side of the pump directly (before regulator). You should read psi in high 60's & in 70's. That should confirm pump quality.
I myself have not had the problem yet, but heard of hose (#10 in PDF#1) leaking. I have also heard of a warped housing (#18 in PDF#2).
