I work for the city water department and leaks in old galvanized lines are common. You can bandaid it with a wrap around clamp. Replace it it the spring. But I have to disagree with rrlund. Frost DOES play a big role as to where the water will surface. It acts as a ceiling and the water could travel several several feet before it comes up. One way that we determine where the leak is; is to use a hammer drill and drill lots of holes through the frost right above the water line. Use a long metal probe and probe to the depth of the line. If water come up then great. Keep doing this until you get the most water coming up and then you know your close. If you get lucky and actually probe the line you can listen on it with a stethoscope (automotive style). A leak will make a hissing sound.
