It this PVC (white plastic) ABS (Black Plastic) or iron ? If it is plastic pipe the best would be to cut out the hole and splice in a repair section. If the pipe is cast iron this becomes a lot harder

First, check with a local plumbing supply house and see what the have that will work. For plastic, cut out the bad pipe and splice in the good section. For metal, see if the supply house has a sleeve to make the repair.

they make expansion plugs for cars - basically a bolt through 2 washers with a rubber plug in the middle - you put the plug in the hole and tighten the bolt - it expands the rubber to seal the hole.

Why a hole? If it is an old pipe, you may need a repair job rather than a patch!

Is the hole on the bottom or top of the pipe? If bottom, cut the pipe out and replace using boots on both ends. If top. cut out and replace. It will never be right if you don't replace.

You need a plumber, at least for an evaluation. You don't want water leaking into the foundation of your house.

Hun, if you don't have any plumber friends, call or go to Home Depot or Lowe's and ask someone in plumbing. They'll be able to tell you what you need to know. And I'd invest in a few DIY books too.
