The question should be worded:
Are there any mistakes in the grammar of this sentence?
However, some people may be 'clever' and answer that just by saying 'Yes' or 'No'.
A better question would be:
What mistakes can you find in the grammar of this sentence?
My suggested answer is:
Something which has been lost will never be found.

yes.
The part of the sentence that starts with the word 'that' is a subordinate clause, and needs a verb.
'Back' can be a verb, but does not make sense here. It can also be an adverb, in which case it needs a verb. It could be as simple as 'be': "something got lost that will never be back again", for example, although it is not exactly clear. To know exactly what verb you should use (and other changes might be necessary) we would need to know what you mean to say.

Yes -- and so does your question.
Try "Something was lost that will never return."
