    Clean out "Vrot" cement around crack.... Fill crack with Expandafoam(cut excess off with knife after it's set)... over this goes Geomembrane and lots of layers of Bitumin.... Go for a product called ABE Superlaykold and it's specific membrane.

    I would do it exactly as Shawn said.

    For a quick fix, (let's say it's draining fast, and you have fish in there that you need time to rehouse/locate...) Pratley's standard setting Normal putty (red and white box) will cure under water and seal.
