First thing is to find the area of the leak.likely to be in the bottom somewhere but could be above the waterline.Repair would depend on the leak.But a proferssional weld job would likely be best.
the log has sections so you may be able to isolate where the leak is.
Sometimes they very very lightly pressureize the logs to find the leak.See too much air in tubes

Yup, you need some air and a spray bottle with soap and water in it and just start spraying the tubes, anything that is welded.

Alot of leaks I have found ar above the water line so look everywhere and only use 4-6 psi, I have used a blower for an air hose and you just stick in the bung hole and hit the trigger then pull it out and put your finger over the bung, obviously this is a 2 guy job.

Just curious why you think there is pontoon leak?
