Whether you use a gasket or not, I'd recomend getting the Dremmel tool and cleaning both surfaces. I have found I can reuse my gaskets twice without leaking. After that, they leak.

You can also check out your local Case dealership.

I don't know if you have a Cummins distributor near you, but I got mine there for a few bucks.
