I've used PLUMBER'S GOOP with success.

I tink Beckett makes a patch kit; I've seen it in the past at home depot stores for 10-12$ bucks.

I'm not a huge fan of patch kits though. My preferred method is use the small container of liquid epdm. I use it as a paste to attach a small piece of liner over the tear and then cover over the entire piece again with liquid epdm and let it cure for a couple days. I've used this method several times in various places and never had a return leak. Used to be only available in the 1 gallon container but last summer I found it online a lot cheaper in the smaller size. Of course, I'm sure people have used patch kits with good succes as well -- this is just my preferred method.

we have a pvc cement that will work, do you have any of the liner that you could cut or left over from install?
