Default hole in sink

Egad! There's a small hole in the metal sheath of my bathroom sink. Now
water pours through onto the bottom of the cupboard under the sink (or
it would, if I was still using the sink). Not good.

Is it possible to patch this hole, or do I have to replace the whole
sink?

If it is a metal sink and the hole is small enough, ie a pinhole, I would
try some metal epoxy putty.

How did the hole get there? If a new sink, get a replacement. If it
rusted through, then time for a new sink. If it was an accident, then you
may be able to patch it, but unless it is very small, you will likely to be
able to see it.
