This is a sewer pipe, not your water main? Does the water leaking out around it appear to be clean(er)? French drains and spring time. Does the leak volume increase when you have rain?

It sounds like the contours of your land are such that water pools behind your foundation and leaks thru the pipe's entrypoint. You already had french drains installed outside? You've got water flow issues. Look into swales, contour swales and rain gardens. Now that I think about it there's a good chance you have a gutter that is dumping water too close to the house.

It's hard to give advice without seeing the lay of the land, but it sounds like you're getting close. Look into swales, contour swales and rain gardens. Specifically swales. Totally level doesn't sound awesome, there's no where for the water to flow, it just sits and eventually sinks. You need a good downward slope from the house, and a french drain can do a good job of avoiding the situation in the picture from my previous post. When it's really pouring, try to go outside and see where the water is flowing. Put on a raincoat or just a bathing suit and get out there and observe the water flows. You might have some luck observing the errosion patters after a heavy rain but really if you can see it while it's happening that's way better.
