Check the front pump seal. it's replaceable and I see those leak a lot.
Check the rear housing insert (chrome piece that fits inside the rear housing) there's an o-ring inside that that rarely leaks.
Check the high pressure output line that comes out of the side of the pump. There's an o-ring in that aluminum tube that could possibly leak as well. Could have got cut by the threads during install.

Don't do that stop leak crap.
Fix it right, the only other suggestion that I can think of that hasn't been mentioned is the O-ring that connects the plastic reservoir to the pump on the top.
Thats where mine was leaking, even though the O-ring looked fine.

I just pulled it off....It does appear to be the O-ring that connects the reservoir to the pump body, but like you mentioned, the O-ring looked fine tho.
Another possible leak in the bottom of the reservoir were it separates into two pieces? Is there a seal there?
Its definitely not the front or the back seal.
Where did you buy your new O-ring?
