Glue?
I've used Freesole on small holes in camelbaks before with good results.

can you get to the inside of the bladder? I repaired a Hydrapac bladder with a puncture repair kit and it was fine for 6 months till I got round to replacing it.

Go to a Tesco Extra and pay them £8 for their own brand bladder.

like the dakine one though, nice big filler neck and you can turn them inside out to dry

Like midlifecrashes says - I got one from Tescos in an emergency - was only 6 quid, and I'm still using it - no probs. I just transferred the bite valve from my knackered camelback bladder and its been great - just use it as a cheap stop gap until you can get a new dakine one.
