I am guessing (hoping?) it is one of the tub jets.

Looking for input from any who have had a similar experience. Original installer, T&D Pool Construction coming to check it out next week (original installation 2006...all equipment maintained/replaced by T&D from day one).

Hoping to not have to start breaking up cement!!!!
You could try placing saran wrap (or similar) over the jets, the one that is leaking should cause the saran wrap to be sucked into the jet, the other should float away. As for repairing, I have no idea if there is no access to the outside plumbing, maybe you could have that jet plugged.
