So I opened up the pool. I had my gizmos in each skimmer and nothing in my return line.

When I got suction up for everything (main and two skimmers) my pump still has "air bubbles" in it. Also you can see them in the SWCG tube. Does this mean that I have a leak in one of the three lines?

The only other thing I can think of is that my blowout tube is not completely air tight and small amounts of air are being sucked in as well as the water from the drains.

Thoughts?

Make sure both skimmers are taking in full water and there isn't any issue there. One of my skimmers, the little gate stuck and restricted water flow into the skimmer basket.
If the skimmers are totally filled and you still see air in the pump, its coming from somewhere.
 
So it turns out my suspicion was correct. I hadn't closed up my blow out tube tight enough and it was allowing air to be sucked in. I added some thread tape and redid it and am back in business.

When I woke up this morning and noticed no water loss I had to assume it was this and not a hole in one of the lines.
