The gasket more than likley tore when you removed the housing.Iwould clean everything and reassemble using NEW SEALS and GASKETS.Pressure test the drive before you reinstall it.I've seen alot worse.

That looks like damage from being overtightened.

The gasket was like that before I took the plate off. As soon as I took the pump housing and pump plate off I could see it.
