It’s still leaking

those things cost a fortune, I put a new flange on and seal recently stopped leak for less than £20
If you work out the size and get the part number, they often come up on ebay.
Prop flanges used to be cheap, not sure now? handbrake flange was/is circa 150 quid.
I think early hbrake flanges are Nla?
