Spa Leak fixed or not?

We have had a fairly bumpy ride as far as construction goes. Our site manager is REALLY slow and not really communicating with us unless absolutely necessary. I am going to try to leave it to basics but we don't have much confidence in him to say the least.

We had pool school in mid-December and we noticed a leak a couple of weeks after.
They sent someone out to locate the leak
They sent someone else out to locate the leak again, it was in the same place the first person noticed. In a spa jet

Masonry was removed, the pebble was jackhammered away and the leak was "fixed" a couple of weeks ago. In the pictures included the leak is on the left. We noticed the pressure gauge was at 0 but were assured it was fixed and the pressure test passed.

Friday our mason came out to start putting the stone back and noticed what could be another leak coming from the right side of where our original leak was and masonry was removed. He thinks it is another leak so didn't want to do the work.

We tried to escalate to our site manager but he claims that it is fixed and the interior of the spa needs to be waterproofed prior to plaster (which according to him involves jackhammering out all the existing plaster and redoing the entire hot tub).

Can anyone tell me if that sounds reasonable?
That the interior isn't waterproofed yet so water could be conceivably leaking on the right side opposite of where the repair happened?

We want to get some other input before this is covered back up, it is slow so that probably won't be until March/April

Thanks!
Picture 1 shows the exterior repair, repair on the left new leak/seep coming from the right of the green bag about where the pipe goes back into the gunite.
Picture 2 shows the interior part. They have capped the pipe since but not fixed plaster
Picture 3 shows the newer leak/seep

Is the dark line in the pipe a crack? If you show that to the builder they still claim it is fixed? How do they explain it if that is a crack?
