deep well water system

i have a deep well water system. i have about 60 feet of pipe in the ground and almost 30 feet of water in the pipe. the check valve is good but every time the pump shuts off the pump will lose its prim. so the pump now runs 24/7 and has for about 2 years now but enough is enough. im guessing there is a hole in the 2 inch pipe but how do i fix it. everyone says just puond a new well but now the ground is freezing and i dont have the money or the time to do so. any ideas on how i can either plug the hole or well anything. the power bill is getting out of hand. my idea was to get pve pipe just a tad smaller than the 2 inch metal pipe and run that down past the hole. will that work maybe. any ideas let me know and will be appreciated cuz im at a loss here
