Help with BD Turbo Guard

[bigceltic]

I noticed a boost leak this week, and using a boost leak tester (from Dieselsite) I found it was the Spool valve leaking. It looks like it is attached to a base with 3 small screws and one had come out. I contacted BD about it, but in the meantime, is it possible to take it apart and seal it with some sort of gasket maker? Anyone done this? Truck is driveable but only makes 25psi and I don't want to make it undriveable by messing up the spool valve - but if there is no issue taking it apart, I will try it. Thanks in advance.

Update: BD tells me there is no repair kit and I have to buy a new valve. When the new one gets here, I will take the old one apart and see what I can do to fix it.

I really dislike unrepairable stuff
