Abstract
A pump housing associated with a vehicle includes a housing body that at least partially defines a pump chamber. The pump chamber is configured to at least partially receive a pump. The pump housing includes a chamber cover configured to be removably coupled to the housing body. The chamber cover includes a mating surface that is configured to contact the housing body when the chamber cover is coupled to the housing body. The mating surface defines a sealing member groove spaced apart from an exterior surface of the chamber cover and a drain configured to fluidly couple the sealing member groove with the exterior surface. The sealing member groove has a depth and the drain has a drain depth that is 45% or less of the depth of the sealing member groove.
