Try and find a metal insert they you can slide into the connection (must be a snug fit) and then try connecting it back together. This should prevent the bottle connection from crushing and therefore prevent the weep.
It is a common problem with expansion bottles for coolant systems. Most manufacturers now put a small metal insert into the hose connections, especially on the smaller-bore return ones. Same principle would apply to PAS bottles though.
i get your drift


..you can see the inserts in my new header tank
good idea
