Hi all
Yes the pump won’t go backwards but it’s possible there could be some leakage through the helical coil.
But both check valves have to fail which is a low probability.
I’ve seen pipe broken due to someone closing a valve and not having a pressure relief valve. Not knowing what kind of pipe/fittings are being used it could be corrosion has made a hole.
Not knowing the layout it might be possible to split the plumbing and see if the leakage is above or in the well.
Lots of fun possibilities

Brad,
Windy might chime in at some point to back me up on this but I see
no way for that pump to turn backwards.
Reverse flow is likely a leak at the pump, the down well piping or
at the pitless adapter if there is one.

Hey Brad,
Sometimes shooting is best if you tell more on what you have
done so far like using the SQF shooting guide, especially on a
holiday weekend😉
Assume there is a CU200 controller and pump is in ground
still, must be with 100ft head, sorry
No high amps? It runs, How old?
