Need leak help

[CHParker]

Well I opened up the multiport and everything appears fine. I attached a few pictures. I didn't lube it though as I have to pick some up. Any further thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

CH, thanks for the pics - they make it easier to see what you're dealing with. The channels all look good in the pic. The gasket itself appears solid, but in pic #2 it looks like some warpage on the right side of the large section (this is the part that protects the waste line when in normal filter position) - did you look at the sealing plate (the part that is in contact with the gasket) for irregularities? Something caused that warp on the gasket and it's in the right spot to cause the problem we've discussed. I've got a possible fix in mind, but want to hear back from you before I suggest it.
Slow and steady... we'll get to the bottom of this before your water empties to the bottom of the pool - Waste

Waste, thanks for all your help. The leak was actually found today. Apparently there is a 2" or so diameter hole in the side of the pool just below the water line that is believed to once be possibly some kind of cleaning equipment. In any event, the pool guy missed it on his first round of plugging up holes and when he plugged it today the water stopped running. At least now my water bills will be back to normal!

Thanks again for all your help.

CH, glad to hear it - sorry if I took you the wrong direction
