How do I repair a stainless steel sink?

Under the bar I have a stainless steel set of three sinks. When the Middle sink is left filled with water to rinse glasses it leaks. The drain is NOT leaking. It leaks from near the middle of the bottom area. I can see no obvious crack or pin hole. Is there a product or method that can be used to perhaps coat the inside of the sink? There is no problem with the other two sinks and to replace the set is expensive.

To see where the pin hole is, shine a flashlight underneath the sink and look from above and you will instantly see the small pin hole of light.

rough up the underside of the sink where the pin hole is with 200 to 400-grit sandpaper to remove contaminates from the surface. Wipe the surface with a clean damp cloth to remove the dust from the sanding and then wipe dry with a clean dry micro towel. Buy some stainless steel epoxy and mix according to instructions. Apply the epoxy to the bottom of the sink where the puncture is. Work the epoxy into the hole and surrounding area. Allow the epoxy to cure according to instructions before using the sink. lightly sand any epoxy that has entered the inside of the sink through the puncture with the sandpaper to finish the repair.

I have the same problem with one of my sinks, I tried to get it welded, but the welder said it is too thin, we then tried jb weld which only held up for a couple of months. I just contacted one other person, if I get an answer I will let you know.
