Ponds & Aquatic Plants

small leak in pond,

9 years ago

I am just cleaning the pond, getting ready to set up for the season, and notices a small tear in the bottom of the liner, some ground water came up as i was cleaning. I want to know if it is okay to leave it as it is or do i have to patch it, and how?
The pond is 3 1/2 ' deep and about 20 feet in diameter.

There is a little water in there now, and I left it overnight and it seems to not have changed at all in level. If i leave it will it leak into the surrounding yard and cause future problems?

Please help?
