Leak at skimmer

[rayconk]

Hi, thanks to all previous posters on leak detecting, etc. I've found a leak at my skimmer - should have been obvious except I've never had a pool before, anyway - found it, most of the grout is missing at a joint of the skimmer and the pool. Pool is about 2 years old. Anyway - curious what's the best way to repair - was assuming I would just regrout that one joint - but I saw posts recommending polyurethane caulk for grout repair. Just wondering if I should do grout or the caulk and if I do grout is there a particular kind that is recommended for pools?
Thanks in advance!

...or would putty be better? It's the vertical seam between the skimmer and the pool tile on one side, looks like most of the grout has just fallen away....
specific product recommendations are appreciated. Thanks!

A picture of the area would help us help you. Also if your pool is only two your builder might fix it under warranty

Sure, that would have been helpful I suppose. Anyway, I looked at some caulk wasn't loving it, ended up using some putty from local pool store. Worked without a hitch and the leak is fixed. Still curious though what people generally use...don't think a picture is super relevant (and don't have one with me at the moment) If you've fixed your leak successfully and you have any opinions on type of material and brands that have worked well I'd be interested to know for future reference. Thanks, and thanks @wasted0101 for replying.

Pool putty is what most of us use.

The request for a picture was to help me see if it was above or below the waterline as that effects the repair. Above the waterline you could use almost anything, below your choices are limited.
