I just noticed it today, but it's probably been this easy for years.

I've had this pond for just under a year (it's 30 years old). I noticed today that water was trickling from the overflow into the creek behind it, and I know the water level is below the overflow port.

I jumped on top of the concrete tower and could clearly see water leaking into the bottom corner of the concrete structure. I estimate that it's easily flowing at 1 gallon per hour.

They're a spring fed pond about a mile up the road that feeds the creek behind the pond. I guess it's possible there's a spring feeding my pond, but I don't think that's the case. Aside from runoff the only other water the pond gets is outflow from my openloop geothermal.

Can I fix this? Also, can I fix this without draining the pond?

Thanks for any advice.
