Go to the automotive store and buy a fiberglass patch kit. Drain the fountain, clean the area with the leak, and use sandpaper to rough up the finish. Cut the fiberglass to at least 1 inch larger than the leak (crack, hole). Apply the clear bonding agent, then the fiberglass mat, then some more bonding agent, and smooth out. Let dry, and use a suitable automotive paint to match.
I have left over materials from a previous project, but will have to check to see if the bonding agent is still good.
I have also used GOOP and fiberglass for similar repairs, no idea if the Flexseal product would work as i have never used it.
