You should visit the local Honda dealership and talk to the person at the
parts counter. Ask him to show you the diagram related to the plentium.
The diagram should clearly show whether or not there is a gasket and the
part number of the gasket. If there is a gasket in that location, I advise
you to buy a new one. It's a great idea to replace any gaskets instead of
making use of making use of the old gaskets. Old gaskets are more likely
to develop leaks than new gaskets.
