My fountain has been running for a couple of years and this week it trips the outdoor outlet when I turn it on. The pump runs for around 30 seconds and then trips the GFI

The pump motor seal has developed a leak. Replace the motor.

Plug in something else with motor. Remove plug for pump. If GFI works all right, then pump is bad.
