How to repair holes in a older type metal gutter
 Begin by cleaning the area around the leak with a wire brush and water. After the area has dried, scrub it with an abrasive pad.
Step two.
Apply plastic roofing cement over the leak and feather it out on the surrounding area to flatten any steep edges in the repair.
Step three
If the leaks are larger than nail holes, use tin snips to cut a strip of flashing (the same material as the gutter) wide enough to fill the area. Bend the strip to fit and embed the flashing in the cement. Feather out the cement around the edges of the repair.
