Is there a way to fix a small leak in a swamp cooler pan? The swamp cooler
over 14 years old. The pan is rusting and there is a hole about the size
that a 16d nail might cause. I'm hoping to be able to patch the hole and
not have to replace the swamp cooler quite yet.

How about maybe put a 16d nail in the hole..... Seriously just about
anything from duct tape to a dab of silicone will work for at least the rest
of the season. Then you could look for an after season discout sale this
fall and get a new swamper for next year. You will probably have other
holes to fix and/or other mechanial problems soon anyway.
