85 IROC Exhaust Flange Gasket?

Hello all,
One of the issues with my new 85 IROC (305 TPI) is that it has an exhaust leak from the right manifold. I was thinking it was the gasket where the manifold and flange meet, but cant seem to find a part number or the part listed on any of the on-line auto parts stores.
Can anyone help out with a part number? There IS a gasket in there right, I was thinking it would be a graphite o-ring type of seal.

Thanks!

Either your car is carbed, in which case there's an EFE valve, or it's a TPI car and has a spacer. In either case there is no gasket.

Ok so if theres no gasket and its leaking there, what would be the cause other than a loose fit?

If not a loose fit, perhaps the manifold gasket itself is leaking.
