A swimming pool with an area of 40 m² is filled on the first day of the month. During the August month, a hosepipe, flowing at a rate of 0.05 cubic meters per minute, is used to add water to the pool. The hosepipe is turned off after 1 hour. 120 mm of rain fell during that month. Evaporation from a nearby lake was 240 mm during August. It is estimated that 30 percent more will evaporate from the pool than the lake during that month. On the 1st of September, the pool was 130 mm below the top. Does the pool have a leak? If so, what is the rate of leakage in cubic meters per day (m³/day).
