Hello,
I have a floor heat pump that has been in the house since I bought it 3 years ago. Now that I am thinking of enclosing it (with a hatch), I noticed a little water in one of the connections. It looks and feels like the water is actually leaking from the top of the chrome part:
The pump looks like this:
The connection side looks a bit different, but you can at least see that there hasn't been any leakage there:
Considering how it looks right where it's leaking a little, I suspect it's been like this for quite some time. You can also see under the actual connection that it has probably dripped down from it at some point:
Do I need to get a plumber here to fix this, or would it suffice to simply tighten it myself? And if so, how do I do this without damaging anything? Can I use an adjustable wrench on each part (one on the motor and one on the chrome part)?

it should be fine., it is a locknut with a rubber gasket in it.
