Default Update to: Leak in my basement (found the source)

UPDATE:

Well, I opened up the wall and found the source of the leak. There was crack
in the concrete wall that had been caulked over. It rained a couple of times
today and water poured out of the crack about 4 inches off the floor.

The good news is that that area is only 2 feet under grade.

The strange thing is that after I pulled some of the loose caulk away was
that a lot of the water coming out of the crack that then drained out of
1/8" vertical separation between the wall and the floor.

Looking around the interwebs it looks like every crack repair company says
their solution is better than all the rest. Anybody got any suggestions?
DIY?
