    The leak is at the bottom. Over the winter i looked a d watched the pool go.empty. but with snow i could nkt let it stay empty in fear of walls closeing in. From.weight of water snow or ice on cover.

    Do you know WHERE it is? You can patch a liner; it's best dry, but you can do it underwater. However, you have to know WHERE to put the patch!

    Yeah, it's gonna be hard to find a leak that small. I'm sorry, but I have no ideas, except to drain and do an inch-by-inch inspection.
