Maybe if you post a pic of what is actually there. IDK what you have. Pumps I'm familiar with have threaded fittings, with most installs putting in unions to make replacement possible. If it's a union that's leaking, might be loose or need a new seal.
Is this a "union" or just a male adapter screwed into the pump body?
Start with tightening the joint. If that doesn't work, replace seals.
If you aren't used to doing this stuff:
Turn off pump. Only work on pool stuff when stores are open. Things can go wrong and you may need to buy parts.
A picture would be more useful

All the pumps I know of (and I have plenty) have only one pipe exiting the pool pump.
Maybe a picture will help us?
I know you folks in California are free thinking radicals, but how in the hell do your pool pumps work with only one pipe?
Reading comprehension? one pipe "exiting" the pool pump (and one ingress pipe, not discussed).
