John, I think you are right on the money. Did some more digging yesterday after work. Turns out my issue is not exactly a "spring" but more of limestone rock shelf that water appears to be running along. I will try to post pictures later but basically I hit solid rock under about 6 inches of clay in a certain area of my pond. Where I hit rock... the hole filled with water. I could go over a few feet and dig not hitting the shelf and the soil is decent clay that is not sopping wet and water never finds its way in. My pond has a deep bowl where the suspected leak is which again was probably created when the pond was dug out. I hope by reintroducing clay and packing it in that this area will be sealed off. First I need to get all of the muck out. I fear I will have a difficult time because the basin never really dries out and large equipment may get stuck in certain areas where the muck is knee deep.
