I've been away since tuesday, just got back, fish are fine.
There is no water marks on the outside of the tank or down the cabinet and the floor is dry.
I put the lights on (been off all week) and about 10 mins later a drip went down the outside of the tank, where I know the silicone has a pin hole, however the water level is an inch from the top so how has it leaked out?!
Furthermore when I slide the corner of the kitchen paper underneath one end of the tank (4ft tank) its wet, about the first third of the tank does it, so from the left about 40cm worth of the underneath of the tank is wet.
If there were a leak, a bad one, I've been away 6 days so it would surely be wet all over the floor and the water level be further down???? I've never had a tank leak.
I'm kinda worried, dunno what to do? What does anyone suggest?

It's a Jinlong haha
Had it about a year never had any problems apart from not being able to fill to the very top as this tiny pin sized hole in the silicone
So weird that its been unattended all week and absolutely fine but has this dribble of water underneath it
 
are you sure the pin hole hasnt split?

No it's dry I put my finger inside and touched the silicone so perhaps the tanks been wet underneath for ages.
I'm gonna have to empty the whole thing and dry it underneath omg
 
Fill it back up, let is stew and check regularly tonight and in the morning. It could have blone in a top corner somewhere while you were away, had the floor dry after the leak and the leak stop once the water got below the dodgy bit of the seal...
