Welcome to the forums.

I'd at least try to rebuild it first. Never had to on my popo, so I can't even say for sure they sell it. They should. And it would be much cheaper than buying another. Just be sure to check all the other brake seals too.

check to see if there is rust/corrsion on the cylinder to stop it form going in and out in the caliper and to make sure it won't rip a new seal. if it's all good try for a rebuild kit. imo
