Depends how big the hole is. Pics? I found loctite 290 the be very useful for some pin holes in a boema machine I restored. You need to heat up the boiler with a flame torch and drop a few drop so it penetrates into the pinhole.

Check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8F8H4K8ws4. This is Doug describing pinholes, thread-lock and the fact that most pinholes are actually self sealing.
