Don't worry about your overflow box leaking on the moment.
I would be worried your bulkheads with all that silicone around it.

Btw, Welcome to R2R.

Why is there silicone on the bulkhead to begin with? Bulkheads don’t require silicone and if it’s leaking just replace the bulkhead its a 5 dollar item.

Well actually i dont know either, i hire someone else to do the plumbing etc and now i was concern about my skimmer its deliver the electric stun everytime i touch the water

Not saying it's bad bad but it ain't normal to silicone the bulkheads.

You got a current running trough your water, probably a cracked wire from your skimmer pump.
Is this a new skimmer?
Pics?
