Finding where overflow water drains

[Big Lou]

One side of my pond is higher than the other. Obviously if I fill the pond to maximum level on the high side water drains out until natural waters leve is reached. With the way the pond is currently constructed after many searches I am not able to locate the overflow point. I know that using a drop of blue water tint placed at the high water point is suppose to enable me to locate leaks and possibly the overflow drain out location.

My question to you is will that method work or is there another more reliable method?

Put something that floats on top and fill 'er up; should be able to watch where it goes, no?

I'll give it a try. Thanks.

little plastic dollar store ping pong balls work or those little plastic golf balls

Both of theses suggestions ate good. The only problem is wind blowing the balls or other light object away from the flow path.
