Thanks for the replies so far. One thing I forgot to mention is the house has a daylight basement (entire back wall is open at grade level with a door and patio. To answer a few questions:
1. yes the house has gutters.
2. the land could slope away better as now it is kindof flat but running down a slight grade toward the back of the house.
3. The builder sprayed a tar like substance to the burried section of the walls.
4. It may be possible that the crack is not 100% stable but as it is covered with epoxy at the moment i can't tell if it has gotten any wider. It is kindof leaking behind the epoxy though.

I hate to excavate it becaues there is a ton of landscaping and sprinkler pipe, phone line power line, etc. If i have to excavate it i think i will dig down to the perimeter drain and then put a plastic barrier from behind the drian to above grade level and hold it in place with some tar or other sticky substance.
