Default If the dealer is close by, go there.
The gasket is not expensive and you would pay more in shipping than the cost of the gasket. Now if it's going to take a bunch of gas to drive there and back, that's another story. ;-)

Default I could be wrong, but many websites offer the same description for parts they do not carry
By the sounds of it, the dealer is the way to go if it's only a ~$10 part.
