If it isn't much more than ten years old or the leaks are from chafe not from seams coming unglued (which is terminal)...Any chandlery can sell you a hypalon repair kit. They use a special 2-part adhesive made by Bostik or a few other vendors that has a finite shelf life, once it has been opened it goes bad within a year or so whether you use it all up and mix it or not. And of course patches of hypalon material.
If you follow the instructions precisely and make sure the surface is surgically clean before you apply the glue and patch, it works very well. If you take shortcuts, try to use expired glue, wrong glue, or the dink is simply coming apart from old age...Not so good.
