Leaks that are by your steel pool wall or skimmer are noticible when the liner is removed. This particular pool has been leaking for years. The steel pool walls are galvanized and do not rust on their own. Chlorinated water or salt water are what eats through the galvanizing causing these rusted sections. The skimmer faceplate was likely the culprit and could have been a leaky gasket or overtightened or stripped skimmer screws. These can be fixed but it is best to consult a pool professional for an onsite inspection. Read more about Rusted Pool Walls and leaking skimmer

Leaving such problems results in rusted pool panels, broken pipes over winter, pushed in walls, unlevel pool, heaving, rusted steel pool panels, and broken skimmers and jets.
