It might be wise to dig the stuff out if it is plastic body filler. Plastic body filler (often referred to as "Bondo" by the uninitiated) is porous and soaks up water so if there is any in there you want to get rid of it. Filler will normally have a light pinkish or yellowish tint due to the hardener added.

I believe POR-15 makes a floor repair kit with epoxy putty of some sort that might work well in your case. If the leak is at a seam it would really be better to fix it somehow from the outside and maybe some POR-15 paint over the inside as well. If you have access to an air compressor maybe somebody could aim a stream of compressed air at the spot on the inside and you could feel/listen on the outside for the location.

Good luck...
