Default Are Brake master cylinder reservoir o-rings available separate from Reservoir??

My 2002 Disco is leaking brake fluid at that reservoir to master cylinder junction point. I assumed that there are o-rings in that area that create the seal. Went to the local dealer and they say that I have to buy the complete Brake Master Cylinder Reservoir for $80.

Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket source for the o-rings/grommets??

I now am seeing this leak too. I power washed the engine today and dang it the paint is gone under the reservoir where the fluid leaked on it. Anyway now that I power washed the area the leak seems to have stopped, but I bet only temporary. Are the grommets available separately from the reservoir kit?

Just head over to Home Depot or some place and take the o rings in with you and grab ones that are the same size.

Some are rebuildable, some are not. Not sure about the DII. Look in the shop manual.

They are actually grommets, not orings.

I'm looking for the answer to this question. I might have found some that will work. I've already installed them and will let you guys know if they are not leaking in a week or two.
Just pm me in a week if you wish to know about them.
As of the past couple days it is leak free

When I replaced mine, I snapped some pics. Here are the guilty grommets.
I looked everywhere to find just the rubber seals... no luck. The kit was my only option. Not sure if the serial numbers off each piece could be tracked down.
That is what I was thinking when the parts arrived.
Kit still may be the only way?
