How do I patch a small hole in wooden fascia?

[eastender3]

Hello Folks,

I noticed that during heavy downpour, out gutter overflows and then water gets through the hole in the wooden fascia, and comes inside the property.

Wondered if I could do the job myself and what do I need.

I have some left over plaster filler that can be applied to wood as well, which I used for hairline cracks. Not sure if this is OK.

The problem is the gutter not any hole in the fascia. If you don't sort the gutter out, your next question on here will be how to replace rotten timber.
