Default powerboost repair?

were my master cylender mates up with the powerbooster for the power steering, is leaking, and been getting worse each week. i would like to avoid buying a whole new HB unit since im about to drop 3000 on injectors. ive heard that there are repair kits out there to rebuild and replace all the seals that get worn out in the HB. does anyone know were i can get this repair kit??

They said 199.99 for a new one, but 20.00 for a rebuild.
