How do I locate a leak (other than visually) in that orientation?
I was assuming to fill it and watch for drips -- coloring the water
to make the leaks more readily located.

blotter paper, tissue paper, just press it along the
area in question until it shows moisture, but it may
be the case that you have more than one leak so check
the whole seam.

there is marine grade epoxy you can get that is a
putty, but perhaps it would crack if the barrel is
flexible... hmm, might want to use a marine grade
silicone caulk instead, yes, applied to clean surface
inside over the area of the discovered leak.
