it can take a few days for air in the lines to get out
worth a try to go turn on all the faucets and let them run hot and cold mix for 15 minutes
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

when the air bladder in the pressure tank leaks you often notice the pump kick in and out a lot more than normal you can check how much air pressure it has with a tire gauge on many and check again in a few days with no water running and the pump just kicked off it should be the same or very close.

Could be a cracked pipe or fitting in the well on the pump. Especially if the pipe or fittings are pvc.

Your leak to have air in your plumbing would have to be suction side of pump, between pump and well point. A leak on the pressure side causes a puddle or wet spot somewhere. Or like other have said a bad bladder in the pressure tank. Once air in bladder is gone, pump will kick on as soon as water is turned on.
you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

My well did that after a long summer of irrigation around me. Couple years of drought required a new deeper well. I had water at 100 foot until the irrigation pumps came on, then it dropped to 190.

When your buddy worked on the pipe leak did the hot water heater get shout off? I would guess the water was drained before he fixed the leak. Sound like a burned out element to me if it is an electric hot water heater.

Wish I had more time to trap....

Sounds like the top element is shot If you only have warm water. To remove air from the water heater I always just pop the relief valve while filling.
