plug the holes with coded silicone if you can get the same colour?

they are only small holes from self tapers .

you can get wax/oil in clear also but it won't fill a hole.it is a good rust preventative though and one i'm about to add to the underside of my car.

re op you could buy a touch up stick to colour clear silicone for a quick fix.
