Wilwood Adj Proportioning Valve Leaking

[BlackGT89]

The Prop Valve I bought from LRS (Ford Racing, but says Wilwood under the sticker) less than a year ago is leaking around the fitting that holds the knob in place. I assume there is an O-ring, gasket or packing gland of sorts inside. Has anyone here ever had this problem and managed to rebuilt the valve ? I just looked at Summit and a new one listed for around $31 and when I added it to my cart the price magically jumped about 7 bucks ! What's up with that ?

The summit one is $38. Couldn't find the $31 one. Summit is the wilwood one...same as the ford one

For the price...it's a throwaway part to me. I believe there is an o ring under there. I replaced the previous design because the knob started to get rough to adjust and felt like it was breaking internally. If I can find it, I'll disassemble and see if there is an o ring. I think I did do thisnbefore though and saw one

I guess they just raised the price between the time I did my first search and the time I clicked to add it to my cart. Talk about bad timing ! Thanks for the help though and let me know if you discover what's inside.
