It might be the motor seal, through usually that doesn't spray.
A picture would get you much higher quality responses. If you can make some, email them to poolforum.pics AT gmail DOT com

Welcome to the Forum!
Try tightening the 4 bolts that secure the 2 parts of the housing (9/ 16" wrench will fit them).
If that doesn't solve the problem, pick up a SPX1600-Z-1 seal assembly and a SPX1600T pump housing gasket. I know I have a post describing how to change the seal assembly and the housing gasket is pretty obvious but feel free to ask any questions you have.
