A quick look on ebay showed the only gaskets were being sold out from the US for $20 + postage!

I don't fancy leaving my wife car-less for the school run on Monday!
If it comes off in one piece I wouldn't hesitate to use it again. But if it's super old, it will likely crack and require replacement. Creating liquid gasket will be too messy. I would not bother unless it's an emergency. Get the proper gasket.
