I would try hydraulic cement (Think that is what they call it)..

When it dries it expands and filles the hole..

Not sure where to get it but I don't think it is hard to find.

I have seen the hydraulic cement at ace. That is good stuff. I have seen the city patch sewer lines with it with no more problems.

lowes and home depot have it too or any good building supply or hardware store.. once you seal up around the holes you can waterproof paint the foundation too on the inside drylock is good
