There is a FAQ on leak checks:

The 17 has vents in the forward saddles and this should not be blocked. If they leak in the wing tubes, you have to cut access ports in the deck and patch from the outside of the tube - inside the hull.

Any good ideas of what to put in the wing shockets? How would i do it and what material should i use. I know glassing works but no idea how to do it. Any ideas?

On page 27 there's a description of how to repair a wing tube leak.
