| You can clean dirt out and blow dirt out of seam of tank and concrete. Then use the roofing tar, sealer. Get it had hardware store around 70-80 bucks at least used to be. Probably need 2-3 buckets. You can take a trowel and feather it up the sides. It will but you a few years. But take dirt and replace it after tar. It help seals it.
Bottom line trough needs replaced, I've got three that need replaced as I'm trying this. We just shoveled a little more dirt in them to get by for a few weeks. There is a product that was advertised to repair tanks called Veridan or something like that. It was a two part product you mixed to coat sides . Expensive, at end of day I would just replace trough. I like big diameter ring tanks for storage. Like 25' or so. Cheaper and easier to deal with than a storage tank and trough. However takes lots of cement for ring. Upside is do it right, and can last 45 plus years. If you can use 13' diameter tire troughs maybe plumb two in or just one if volume of water can keep up. Small holes you can take bolts with a couple of peices of rubber to seal up holes.
Good luck welcome to my everyday life, sometimes just head to loader and get a bucket of dirt to fix leaks. LOL
