Check that all the part are fitted tightly. something must have come loose for it to happen and there is'nt a crack etc. Make sure the collection cup is push right in and the o ring which is the black rubber ring is in position which is to stop the water leaking through.HTH

another thing I've forgot to mention, is the air tube pipe that goes all the way to the bottom inside the skimmer, check that is not loose. if it is then open the bottom part which just clip on anyway and check the airtube is connected to the bottom of the skimmer. That some time leak bubbles out if it not right in.
