I have an XR4i servo in the shed but it's been off the car for years so you might be better to rebuild your exisiting servo - I'd guess that seal kits are available somewhere?

How is the car running as a leaking servo can cause brake fluid to be drawn into engine and hence smoking on closed throttle and the air leaks can give poor running.

when i had an XR4i it was a nightmare trying to get hold of a good servo so i'd agree with mark, try and find a rebuild kit
