hello, i am new here and i am a retired auto and truck and heavy truck technician.also i worked on ground support equipment that loads and unload an aircraft.ase master tech. so i am able to fix a large variety of things. i recently dug up my skimmer because i added water to this pool many times and it always returns to set level.so i pulled up some of my decking and moved and cut some boards and dug and dug .well while i was digging the area was wet with water.when i reached the skimmer i watched water leak down the back of the skimmer threw two small holes.i used a brite light and a mirror and i can see two small holes that make the water leak out until it reached the correct level for the skimmer to function correctly.

Welcome to TFP. You work at KSWF?
Skimmers can have an overflow drain. Either the knockout was purposely opened and never connected to a drain pipe, the drain pipe is disconnected, or a knockout was accidentally opened at some point.
Post pics of your skimmer and what you found.
