If it is a B2 or OHG model x1 or one of th copies available now you need a new lower gasket, the rear plate is designed with expansion chambers and a big rubber gasket in case the converter freezes to stop the housing cracking, this rubber gasket goes hard and brittle an leaks from the two breather holes underneath.

Easy if the screws aren't rusted in, can become painful if ther are.
