If it's a sieve tube leaking out the end of a stave, you jam an icepick into
it and then hammer a tank spile into the hole. Tank spiles are just little
pointy pieces of wood. I've used a wooden toothpick on occasion. Cut off
~½" with a pair of dikes and hammer it into the leak, point first. A little
Wilhold carpenter's glue in the hole before driving the spile is a good
idea. Repeat as necessary. BTW, this trick is also good for fixing borer
(earwig) holes.
