Default Electromagnetic Pressure actuator. (Metering Head)

Hi peeps, got a little bit of a Petrol Leak, everytime i go in the garage, i can smell petrol, so today got the car out and had a look, its coming out of the Pressure Actuator on the side of the metering head, and running down the gear box and onto the floor.

What i need to know is, can this unit be taken apart and new o-rings put in or would i need to get a new Pressure Actuator?

Thanks peeps

Regards Mikey

Default leak

The pressure actuator has 2 rubber o rings on the face where it meets the distributer block maybe one has perished. Dont think the unit itself can be stripped, think i have a spare let me know if you need it
