called a "spider gasket" it's a cheap fix. And not advisable to run your pump with no water moving through it.
This. Don't run pump without something passing through it. That is only cooling the seal gets.
If your level drops more with pump on than off your leak is on discharge of pump. Is backwash line piped to a sump or open ditch? Are all discharge joints above ground and visible?

I had a similar situation last year.
Agree with checking the valve first. Valve is an easy fix.
My problem was a broken drain pipe in one of the skimmers. Oak tree that is about 15 feet from the skimmer had a root that snapped the pipe at an elbow. Yes, at the elbow - just try to break one of those suckers!
Replaced the pipe and corner myself once I was able to dig out the area.
