Emergency backhoe cylinder repair?

Hi again, Got my backhoe up and digging up a storm, All the neighbors are running fo rthe hills..:0)
But wouldn't you know , one of the main digging cylinders popped an end seal. Started to spray 20 feet so hadda shut down. It is a Koehring, but there is no support for this machine as it was a factory prototype. The cylinder has an aluminum end on it where the seal was, and it's got a couple of allen socket screws in it. Is this something I can reseal on the unit , or must I take it completely off and apart to reseal? Anyone got any neat tricks for stopping a big leak like this? It seems to be the outer seal as it still operates quite well.
Thanks!
