Nitrous is high PSI, you can't really patch it. I would take it to the shop that filled it and ask them. I think you need to replace the grommet if not the whole valve assembly.

i just got off the phone with NOS tech support and they told me the only thing i can do besides buying a new bottle is unscrewing the valve and resealing the threads with liquid teflon... if that doesnt work.. to then buy a new bottle
