I have been running my remote under the bars, due to a freak conjunction with my knee in December it currently looks like this:

So the plunger bit and the part it goes into are broken, but I think both are in the button kit http://www.amazon.co.uk/RockShox-Remote-Button-Reverb-Right/dp/B004XX8WTQ
Does anyone have experience of replacing these bits? It still works by the way, the rubber boot holds the thing together it just needs bleeding before every ride.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but from the look of your picture, it is leaking fluid at the button. This is caused by the broken end of the button scoring the bore in the housing, which then lets fluid past the seal. Looks like you'll have to replace the entire remote (~£120) instead of just the button (~£50).
I've replaced the button on mine after breaking it, replacing the button is really straight forward, it's just held in place with a spring clip from the inside of the housing.
Well yes it is leaking oil but isn't that mainly due to there being so little shaft left to hold the seal straight?
No, on the end of the shaft is a 4mm dia piston with the seal on the outside. There is approx 3mm of piston left between the point where it breaks and the seal.
Ah great - thanks for your help.
No worries, like I said, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but hopefully I've saved you forking out £50, not fixing the problem then having to spend another £120!
