So that's where they all are.

I got the cam cover off with the stock gasket intact but about 2" still stuck to the cover. Paul was being helpful and thought that we could just get a new one easily and ripped it off. He got one to replace it that was red and thick. I put a thin film of wheel bearing grease on both sides and installed it. No leaks so far.
