Post a pic so I can help you better and tell you. As for the gasket, it's probably all cracked and maybe not reusable. Just run a small bead of rtv around it and that should work. If not hit up a NAPA or a dealer tomorrow for one.

Both of my gaskets fell apart too when I was changing one of the knock sensors, had to get a new knock sensor harness, luckily a member nearby had an extra.
The gaskets are reusable, however, when I first put my blower on Tootall and I used black RTV on the gaskets to keep out any moisture... but it also bonds pretty well to the rubber gaskets and wouldn't let go, we took a screwdriver to it and it came out in pieces.
