I for one have never heard of salt or soda ash for leak fixing. I'm interested to see if anyone has experience with it.

From that perspective of ignorance, a properly installed clay liner would do the trick. If you can't get good solid evidence for salt/soda ash, I'd go with the clay and get it fixed the first time.
