Posted a while back about my pond leaking water pretty badly. Now that it has dried out a bit it seems pretty obvious my pond water is seeping into the ditch behind my pond which is about 40 foot away. The leak appears to be pretty bad, I can actually see it flowing in a little stream in a couple of spots. Plus the ditch stays wet from my house on down. Any ideas on a fix for this kind of issue.
Another observation, something is wallowing out and making holes under the water line around my bank, even bored a hole behind my dock all the way across. I thought it was nutria but have not seen any evidence of their little torpedo's. Can catfish do this too.

Find the leak seal it with clay (on the pond side of the dam).. To be blunt.. no easy fix

One way to find out - set a conibear in front of the hole with the freshest mud.
As for the dam leaking, no easy fix without heavy equipment digging and packing.
