Ballade sports now sells the gasket. It's quite expensive though, but that's because Honda doesn't sell the gasket alone (you have to buy a whole vtec solenoid unit) and they had to make molds and such and manufacture their own.

Glad the problem is fixed. Another way to have figured it out would have been to clean the area with some engine cleaner spray, and then see where it starts leaking from.
