Hello, I have a 7 year old pool with a raised spa. A leak has developed where the spillway stone is connected to the rest of the spa. When the spa is turned off, the outside of the spa facing the pool is wet and I have determined water is seeping along the sides and bottom of the spillway...

Thank you very much!!!
