    I don't know if the leaks you have are because the
    aluminum has gotten thin and corroded, or because a
    seam has opened up, but if it is the latter, I once
    had good luck with an aluminum gas tank on an old Land
    Rover that sprung a leak at a seam when some guy ran
    into my side.

    The tank was dripping gas, but when I scraped off the
    black paint in the area of the leak so I could see
    where it was coming from, the screwdriver mushed some
    of the aluminum into the leak, and it stopped
    completely and never came back.

    In any case, sounds like something that epoxy ought to
    take care of.
