I've had a water leak for most of the winter. Just too cold for me to dig it out. I have this line running from the house out to a hydrant for my water tank. Fortunately I haven't needed to use the tank. I just turn the water on long enough to fill a small tub in the other barn and turn it back off.
Now the weather is better I got started on it. I think I found the leak. First pic is the hole I'm working in. Second is the tee that's just under the hydrant. I had the hydrant drain wrapped by a tile so it could drain directly in to it. That tee was in the tile also. Took a while to realize there was a leak with that setup. Now I put a plastic line from the hydrant to the tile.
That hole is about a 1/4". Sure don't take long to run up the electric bill $$$
