Yes the pond has a small leak. I was told that it was around 3/4 of an acre at 10' in deepest part. It does have a good amount of clay but I guess it wasn't well enough in a area or maybe there was some trash in that spot. It does have a good burmuda stand around about 90% of the pond. It was a shallow pond maybe 2' deep and we drained it and dug it out with a dozer.
