Thanks to all who replied. David Council suggested finding a small o-ring
as a replacement for the conical shaped 'official part'. I did find two at
our local old timey hardware store and they worked just fine. There's no
pressure on that juction, so I suspect that the temp fix will last until I
can get a proper rebuild kit for the HS4.
