I had issues with a leak a while back as well. I thought it was my sump but after a long time investigating the problem, I discovered that it was actually not at leaking sump. It was a combo of the splash the water creates as it enters my sump from up top, and the splash from the stand pipe that runs off of the skimmer. It doesn't look like much could happen but over the course of a few days the drops add up. I had to tack up splash guards (pieces of clear shower curtain) around my sump to prevent it, problem solved.
