So my rear tire was flat and i hoped that filling it up would be the fix, but unfortunately there is a slow leak from it (drains the tire in a few seconds with weight on it) but the hole is about the size of a pinhole, i think its too small to get a plug into it. Any ideas how to fix it?

sometimes some fix a flat will work to seal up small leaks. I have some tires that are cracked on the side walls and that helped to seal them so that they hold air. Most mini bike tires have a tube in them . They can be patched with a repair kit but with all the effort to take it apart I just usually put a new tube in them.

Yes you can put a tube in a tubless tire , just yank the valve out with a pair of visegrips

But as others mentioned ream the hole with a tire plug reamer and then plug it
I use green tire slime too , it works great in low preasure tires

Yeah get some green slime and put that sucker in there and it should fix your problems. Tractor supply has the gallon size for $20 vs $10 for few ounces
