Can someone take my hand after the chemicals and pool is clean on closing

[traceyb]

I left the hose from the skimmer box attached.It dangles down to the ground away from the pool wall. every now and then I grab it and maneuver it and notice that water comes out of it. Not much, but not enough to be condensation. I thought the skimmer cover was tight enough, and there doesn't appear to be much water around it from looking outside to the back of the cover. I really don't want to take the cover off and tighten the screws , they say not to overtighten anyway.....
any recommendation?
I have no idea where the water is coming from, except from inside...DUH!

Could it be rain accumulating on the skimmer lid, then running through the hole in the center or in around the lid edge?
If the skimmer is covered and you still get water in it, as long as it's just a little bit you should be fine
