Depends on which seal is gone really. They're just o-rings, commercially available from anywhere that sells machinery parts (motor factors, for example).

A quick fix, if you can't find seals to suit, is to remove the leaking seals and immerse them in clutch fluid for a couple of hours. Take them out, dry them off and refit them.
This works if the seal is dehydrated/perished. It won't work if it's broken, obviously, and it has a 50/50 chance of working if the seal shows wear. If it is worn but the clutch fluid engorges the seal enough to work anyway, the leak will return after a short period of time, so it's better to replace it.

thanks for the info im not sure which seal is gone i have takein the hold fireing assemblely out and taken it apart .

Check them under a magnifying glass if you have one. Alternatively, put them all into clutch fluid. It won't harm the good ones, but it'll help the bad ones.

You could also just pick up a seal kit and replace the lot. They're reasonably cheap, and it'd mean you'd always have spares.

where can i pick up a seal kit :

NakedDex

Same place you can pick up the individual seals that I mentioned before; anywhere that sells machinery parts, like a motor factors or a pneumatic/hydraulic service shop.
