Yep got the same problem... find more and more spots the more I look at it. Initially thought it was just on the passenger side, right above the muffler... but have since found some on the driverside as well.

I think Belto did a fix on a couple of holes too with some boat fiberglass matting.

I used the same stuff on my driver's side floor board. If the patch work is small enough, I like to use fiberglass so I know that spot will NEVER rust again. Ever.

I have a rule of thumb. If it will still be hard to put a beer can through the hole then fiberglass is fine if the can will fall through without touching the edges then you need to cut a patch panel and weld it in place.
