Default Where to buy T3/T4 oil outlet gasket?

Reused the T3/T4 oil gasket ... thought you could. Turns out, even a slight tear in it has caused oil to leak out when the car is shut off. The kicker is, I have a tune set-up for Thursday, so I want to get this done ASAP. Could you get one of these gaskets at a local parts stores or maybe a dealership? Possible that any cars come stock with T3/T4 oil housings?

I'm not 100% sure on this but I'm pretty sure you can use that high temp (orange) RTV/silicone.

Wow, if that's true, that's fuggin awesome. Have you guys used it and it's held up? Did you use it in conjunction with the old gasket or just laid it on the housing? Don't want any of that stuff getting into the oil ...

Oh, and one more Q ... where can you get the stuff locally? Should hardware stores or places like Lowes/HD have it?

Hardware store or auto parts should have it. Just make sure it's high temp. I just used it and no gasket.

Awesome, guess I'll have to just go that route. Leave the stuff in the car just in case it happens again =)

BTW, how did you apply it to ensure it didn't get mixed in with the oil? Just a thinly spread layer or can you just kinda lay it on there without having to worry about it mixing with the oil?
