I am sure that there isn't one there - that's why you can't find one. :)
Someone will be along to confirm I should think.

Put same question on FB and getting there was never one listed !! But one came off so if there was one there then it should be replaced !! So what my mechanic is doing is putting some High temp sealent on and tightning it right up !!! Majority on FB say this is the way to do it !! hope it works ok if any one as any other advice please post as i am personally not great with engines etc!!

Mine has (or had) a very thin spring metal gasket and when I bought new studs for the manifold to turbo they came with a pair of gaskets.
