  Here are both types of "water wedges", which looks as if the dam could break any time: https://gallery.yhoko.com/pic/d9pt1/waterbug.jpg

  If you build dams diagonal there is a visual bug with the water showing on the side after the dam even if there is no water flowing through. Might only happen if the terrain is one elevation lower after the dam. @Mods Save game available if needed.

  When levee or dam or anything is kitty-corner from each other it looks like water flows through the corner, however, the water level doesn't seem to be affected.

  This is not just a visual/display bug.
  Water also ignores the distance to land when it is only diagonally connected.

  Both sides have the same height. As you can see, even the top of the walls is too far away to get irrigated. Consequentially the right side is also not irrigated, since its distance from the water is even further ( all the way up AND all the way down).
  
  However, the left side gets irrigated, because diagonals ignore all that and pretend to be right next to the farmland.

  Is this area leaking, or is it glitching?

  I have noticed that when you have a dam that contains water, if you build it diagonally the blocks have a leaking effect between them. However, I did not notice that effect actually loosing any accumulated water from the dam.
  
  To avoid any leakage I have built the blocks at 90 degrees, which makes sense to strengthen the wall.
  
  I think it would be cool if the water would actually be leaking from the dam as the higher it got the more pressure it would be under. That way it would make sense to reinforce the dam like this.

  When an underground warehouse is placed on ground next to water (in my game it is next to the main river) water can be seen in the corner of the warehouse.

  Confirmed the problem, but it's same issue as the "leaking" levees. Should be fixed eventually, thanks for report!

  When levies are placed on a diagonal water will appear to leak though. The leaked water also does not pool or flow as normal. For example, the empty square at the bottom of the leak does not fill up with water. (See attached).
  
  Also, unrelated to the leak. Please consider adding dam valve that can be placed at the bottom of the dam. This would be a great late game metal part that can be used to more precisely control flow. This part could have levies stacked on top of it. Thanks!

  I had this in Update 1, which is not really how water works.

  See image - I haven't done enough testing to work out exactly which blocks cause this behaviour, but it seems to be more common between different types of block.

  Nope, it doesn't leak, pretty sure that water come from another source, perhaps oscillation issue

  At the corner of the dam, the water seems to flow out of the river. However, their won't be any water. So I think the algorithm of water level calculation may have some errors.

  I am also seeing a rendering problem of water "climbing" the walls when there is no water at the higher elevation. See attached image.

  This appears to be occurring on 7.10.8.
  
  When the sluice is Open water comes out the front edge like normal, but,
  When the sluice is Closed it glitches through the corner as shown in the screen shot.
