There is a gasket under the fitting, sounds like thats all you need to replace.

On the vette its used to install the oil sensors, on the F-body its just a cover as it wasn't used, or rather wasn't utilized by GM for the F body platform.

I drilled it out and put my aftermarket oil temperature gauge there.
I don't know if you can get the gasket anywhere but the dealership, but you can certanly buy gasket material at the parts store and make it yourself.
