Drain the affected pontoon. Try and figure a way to hook an air system up to the drain (adapters, etc.). Put air in the pontoon and spray with a solution of soup and water. The bubbles will show you where the leak is.
If small you can try JB weld ( a two part metal epoxy).
Fallow the directions to the letter, and is very strong and will last and can be sanded and painted when cured.
If that does not work find a certified aluminum welder.
These are the only two ways I know a aluminum pontoon can be fixed.
Good Luck

If it is aluminum, you can weld the leak with a mig welder using aluminum wire. Use steel wire if the pontoon is made of steel or tin.

That depends entirely on the construction material.
I would suggest you haul it and when you've fixed the leak blow some insulation material in to prevent entry of water if it happens again. Don't forget to have an escape hole for excess material as it expands.
