re the food chopper screwed on-to, that part is attached to the impeller and there is a new one on the new impeller.

I think I still have a small crack in the pump housing, though. The pump housing is two halves of molded plastic fused together along a seam, and I think the seam is starting to leak. It's about one drop every 45 seconds. I'm thinking JB Weld will fix it.
