power steering reservoir leak

I have a leak at the power steering reservoir of my 996TT. I found out that the cause of leak was a broken grommet.













Can anyone tell me the part number of this red grommet? If I cant find one, what is a good way to fix the leak? Thanks

I looked on autoatlantas diagrams and couldn't spot it. Take to dealer and they may match up or someone here may have used.

Or try to get and old clutch slave actuator (996-116-237-52). A lot of members have them after modifying their cars (GT2 slave) or replacing a faulty one.....There is one on it. That is where I got mine.....

I had the same issue. Couldn't find the clip. Ended up taping the hole, installing an npt to an fitting and then a #an fitting on the line. Much cleaner and will never leak.

Not sure if this is the best spot to post this, but I managed to get my hands on some of the (larger version) new red clips/grommets.
Unfortunatly only the larger version , and I'm actually still in need for the smaller version

I have a few spare ones. If anyone is interested let me know.
