Default Where to buy an oil pan drain plug gasket {for drain bolt}?

Hey everyone, I am stuck in a bit of a situation and was looking to you good people for some help. Basically, after doing an oil change I gently tightened the drain bolt with the small rubber gasket on it and I heard a slight pop.. After an hour or so I had drips of oil leaking from what seems like the plug.. I suspect the old drain plug gasket was dried out, then cracked and is now slowly dripping oil. So I am looking for the replacement small gasket that goes in between the plug and the insert, but cannot find it online so far..

Here is a link to a site that has a numbered diagram of oil pan parts, the one I am looking for is part #431, which ironically is skipped in the parts list.. Go figure.. Does anyone know of another website with this part in stock ready to order?

Check your local auto parts store. I used a Generic one for my oil pan and it worked great! Bought mine from Autozone a couple years ago.

Thanks for the welcomes and great replies everyone, I wasn't sure if the size was generic or not but after reading your posts it seems they are. I will pick one up as soon as possible and stop the problem. Thanks again for all your help, both myself and others visiting this thread with the same question really appreciate it!
