Just remove and replace the tank. No need to touch the rest of the system.

Mine split on me last year. Saw that it was chaffing on the shock tower which may have been the problem. Easy fix is a small piece of rubber tubing cut lenghthwise and slipped it over the ridge of the shock tower between the tank.
