Okay so if expanding foam is hard to control and does not totally seal the
leaks is using silicone seal (the aquarium kind) a better choice?

Hello. Did the Great Stuff work to seal your leak? And if it did,
where
did you buy it?

I have used triple expanding foam on Shareholders Pond with mixed results.
I
am not sure if it is the same as Great Stuff or not. Heck, I may have even
used Great Stuff, I dunno, never read the side of the can. Anyway, I found
that stopping leaks in my VF dam it worked just fine. It didn't totally
stop
the flow, but it slowed it enough for my liking. I used it to patch a leak
in my stream and that has been a disaster. Once the foam absorbs enough
water, it just wicks more and more out of the pond. We're in the process
of
fixing this now.

This is what I used and was happier with.. (know this is late in response
but you don't seem to have gotten it from anyone else and I just now saw
it)..
