What kind of hole is it? And where is it.

Most holes are a result of erosion of the die cast housing where the waste goes out. Almost impossible to fix. You might try a metal based epoxy but I would plan on a replacement.

Seems to be a corrosion. Located on the outside shell, bottom half.

I asked because if its was lateral of the grinding blade... then its impossible to fix even temporarily.
I've had one break out there as a thresult of corrosion and something hard getting wedged during the normal grinding process.
But tio get any epoxy to bond the area would have to be cleaned extremely well. Very hard to do in place... and by the time and trouble you take to remove it, fix it and replace it... it would have been worth the fairly small expense to replace it with a new one. And not have to deal with it again for 10+ years.
