Update, so you are right there seems to be no issues with the pipes leaking. The whole plumbing system froze solid, but I dont see any leaks anywhere.
When I turned on the pump it fired up but there was no pressure. Turns out when the water froze in the pump the ice pushed the check value (its like a disc piston) with so much force it got stuck/wedged. So it was no longer moving up and down like it should. So I had to take the whole pump unit off and disassemble the bottom part if it and pop loose the check valve. Works now.
I was dumb for not draining the water during winter, which is super easy as there is a dump valve right next to the main tank.
Thanks for your replied.
