Default swamp cooler pan is leaking

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.



Thanks, everybody. I did a temporary patch with epoxy putty. It looks
like it will hold for a while. I already have another small leak. I'll
see if I can nurse this swamp cooler through the summer, then find a way
to coat the pan and see if I can get another couple of years out of it.
