It seems mine isn't the only penguin to have had trouble with leaks. Found in an old mailing list archive on the web:

Quick way to do it, get an old spray bottle (Like the ones Windex comes
from), grab some liquid soap and put some in it, fill the rest with
water, shake so you see bubbles inside (The floating kind, not the
monkey kind), and spray it on the penguin, the leak will bubble up like
there is no tomorrow!

Once you find the hole, patch it, rub the rest of the soapy water over
it and give Tux a nice sponge bath!*

* Extra options:
Beautiful blonde for this job is preferred by Tux, but not required!

I didn't know there were blonde penguins.

Or does Tux go for the inter-species thing?

That's all the same penguin!

Well, Tux is a celebrity, so even if there's only one blonde penguin in the world, I guess he's still in with a chance. But imagine how dreadful it would be for poor Tux if he discovered she only had eyes for Pokey?

No matter - Pokey's a slapper.
