Leaking spacer on y-pipe

Anybody know the part # for the gasket needed between the passenger side spacer and manifold. Or if there is even one that is supposed to be there. Thanks in advance.

There's not supposed to be a gasket.

Thanks. I'm thinking the bolt may have backed out a but. It was a big leak tho.

The flange between the manifold and the spacer is flat on both parts. With only two studs holding the flange together, any issue is going to cause a leak.

It’s very important to tighten down the nuts evenly. Focus on the mating surfaces touching evenly
