Great news! I found an easy fix for my leaking dam (or pond) with a product called Watersave. I mentioned the issue in my Built a small dam for my ducks thread.
It's a granulated substance that changes into a gel when added to water. This gel attaches and mixes to the dam or pond walls and base to make a waterproof seal - it has worked like a charm in my dam
It's easy to apply and is just a matter of spreading the granules over the surface - I concentrated a little extra on the dam wall.
The stuff is made by Polymere Innovations and is called Water$ave (with a dollar sign) or Watersave and I used the "Seep" product because my main leak was caused by the water seeping through my dam wall rather than cracks or holes.
It cost me $270 for a 10 kg bucket and I got it here on eBay
Here's a short article I wrote about how I fixed the leak
