If the leak is small, then it will be difficult to find. Detecting a small leak is possible with supplies you may already have for your pool. Does this Spark an idea?

Inspect the entire bottom of the pool for sinkholes where sand may have washed out from around a leak.

Verify leaks in suspect areas using the red dye in your testing kit. Squirt a few drops underwater in the area of the suspected leak. If the dye exits through the liner, you have a leak.
