I've been battling some plumbing issues and today i replaced my water
pump. it's a shallow dug well 10 feet deep and it's a simple shallow
well jet pump 3/4 HP 220V.
Anyways everything is more or less working, but my pump runs for about
8-10 seconds every 10-15 minutes with no water use.
I know there's a very small leak somewhere. That much is obvious.
If i leave it be for a day or two that shouldn't affect the pump too
much should it?
Also what's the best way to find such a small leak? I don't see any
water leaking anywhere, but it's so darn muggy that there's a lot of
condensation so i cant say that with 100% certainty.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated..

No, it won't hurt the pump. You didn't say what size pressure tank you
have, if it a small one, you aren't losing much water.
I would suspect a leak in a fixture somewhere, a dripping faucet, a
slow overflow in a toilet or the like.
