I don't think there are anymore brands that you can use that you can buy at a hardware or lumber store anymore as they now all have the anti-mildew additve.
you are going to need to get some from a fish store that is specifically designed for aquariums.
ideally, you should redo the whole seam
however, bare minimum - you will have to drain the tank to at least below the leak
I personally would scrap away all the silicon around where it is leaking with a razor blade - don't cut between the glass just the seal bead running along the inside of the tank.
then apply a seal bead along the area.
wait at least 24 hours and refill the tank.
wish I had better news - it is going to be a pain in the a$$
good luck

Thanks to everyone with the prompt responses. I bailed from work to see if I could solve this, more considered about water damage at this stage.
One minor blessing is that this tank is an AIO and the leak appears to be in the rear chambers. That means I should be able to drain the rear chambers only.
I think I have some aquarium silicone around somewhere. I will have to double check on that.
