I sold and installed pools for 20 years and can tell you the only way to find a leak is to swim under water and look at every square inch of the bottom. I'll bet you find a toenail cut. the place where you see water on the outside has nothing to do with the location of the leak. Water will travel in the direction of least resistance and most of the time that is down. It will follow the track around the outside and maybe show a wet spot on the opposite side. A pool will evaporate 1/4 to 1/2 inch on a hot dry summer day and maybe a little more if it gets pretty cool at night. If you see fog above the pool first thing in the morning that is your water leaving. As far as the food colouring, if you find a suspect place you can try it there and if leaking you can see it going out, but don't expect to put some red food colouring in the pool and it going straight to the leak. The first thing to do is put a piece of tape exactly at the water line and check it again in 24 hours to see if it really is leaking and if it is put a new piece of tape and the turn the pump off and don't let anyone in the pool and then chech it again in 24 hours. A lot of time the water loss is caused by a worn out multi-port valve gasket, which is a cheap fix. Hope this helps. I'll try to answer any questions you ask, Later, Nat
