It usually does not take much to repair a firewall. Fiberglass putty or some type of bonding agent will suffice for plugging a leak.

It depends on how big the hole is. JB Weld/Epoxy can be used to fix small holes. Rust damage and more extensive holes usually requires welding work to replace the original metal.

If the leak is through a grommet, replace the grommet. If the leak is through any other passthrough in the firewall, apply a small amount of silicon sealer.

The bulletin recommends checking for any missing grommets or plugs in the bulkhead and sealing any suspect holes. They also recommend inspecting the kick panel areas by removing the front speaker grills and speakers, and also to seal the radio antenna plug. If you have an leak around the heater housing, it may be leaking in through the cowl area.

First find where the leak is coming from. If its a rubber plug thats leaking you can go pick one up. If not just jb weld it close.

You can use some spray form adhesive, however this can becoming very messy. This will stop the water leak by plugging the hole.
