Hi Daniel;

...de-lurking for a moment... :-)  You should be able to do a
variety of things.

In level of sophistication:
1) Nuthin - clean the gasket off, put it back together without
   one.  You should not get too much leaking - besides, the 
   bowls are open to the air thru the vents anyway.
2) Keep the existing gasket, put a thin layer of sealant on it,
   and reassemble.
3) Make a gasket from gasket material - you can get it at most
    auto parts stores.

HTH
