    Pics would help. What is the intake made out of. For minor stuff jb weld works. For more complex or structural stuff you may need to weld.

    Are we talking inside the Manifold, or on the outside?

    Are you talking about rot dimples on the surface where the thermostat gasket seats?
    If so then they can be filled in with just good old JB weld, but anything used to fill such dimples must go into a 100% clean hole .
    It may sound nuts, but at times when I have repaired holes like this I have drilled them out some to get fresh clean metal to work with.
