Default holes in above ground pool wall

Hi,

I have inherited an Esther Williams above ground pool. It is around
10-12 years old. Everything on the pool was in great shape except for
the bottom tracks (I ordered new ones) and I recently noticed dozens
of pinhead sized holes near the bottom 6 inches of the aluminum wall.
The previous owner had dirt up against the wall. I cannot afford to
replace the wall. What would be the best way to approach repairing
this?

Thanks,
Mark

Here is a link to a picture of the holes in the wall:

Strange.

A permanent fix that seals water tight is to wire brush the holes and
patch with radiator leak epoxy - picked up at any auto parts store or
walmart.
