Default steering reservoir tank leak-rebuild info needed

My metal tank is leaking at the lip between the top and the sides. I must assume that there is some type of seal in there. Have any of you done a DIY rebuild or have a link to a site with info on rebuilding it?

I am surprised by the lack of information about rebuilding these, the tank top appears to be held on by three crimp points.

BTW, Lexus wants $306 for a new one
