Xantia accumulator leak, any repair kit?

Has anyone ever re-sealed the accumulator on a vsx Xantia (I think it is the same unit on all of them) mine is leaking a bit from the end where the mounting bracket bolts on (ie opposite end to the sphere). I completely degreased it and then dried it, upon starting the engine, each click of the valve is accompanied by a welling up of fluid within the crack between the circular bit of the body and the mount pressing. I am led to beleive there is no joint between them but that you can possibly cut one from gasket paper and goo it it in there, what I'd really like to do, however is fix its internal leak, what is in the end?. Given that is where it is mounted from I'd have expected no more than a blind bolt hole so why is fluid building up there?.
