Yup pretty easy, instructions are in part of this guide for the outer boot:

I take it its just weeping?

that guide doesnt really explain how to fix that :?

If your try to tighten the 3 bolts holding the gator to the 'box, they'll probably thread :(

What I did to solve the problem was use longer bolts (from my collection of random clio bolts) and some silicone sealant

worked a treat! :)

i was gonna say, just run a line of sealant around the sealing face, job done!

I thought you meant the boot is split? Or do you mean its leaking from where it connects to the box?
