Philippe,
Rebuild kits were made at one time. I found one at a swap meet to rebuild my
unit. Since the seals are protected inside the assembly, the old seals
looked like they were nearly new.
If you try disassembling your unit and applying silicone grease to all the
seals, it will probably fix any leaks. When installing the large bellows,
use some clear silicone RTV rubber where the bellows seals around the edges.
There should be instructions in your shop manual.

Subject: [FWDLK] Pw brake "bellow" overhaul kit
Does someone know if overhaul kit (seals, "o" rings etc..) are
available for the bellow unit (57-59) ? It seems that mine needs
an overhaul: sometimes when i push the brake pedal i've nearly an
engine stall (vacuum leak ?). After , when the unit is "poised",
no problem.
But since three days this failure has disapeared and the system
works well ...
