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.

I had a leak a couple of months ago and it ended up being in the seam of the liner. However, that's an easy thing to spot since the liner will start to wrinkle up. Good luck finding the problem though. I still ended up using American Leak Detectors.
