Yes, it looks like a small rubberband with little ribs every 1/2".

you could try just snugging up the bolts first, maybe they're loose..... i dont know what the gasket would be called, but i just replaced it on my friends car that we were doing a head gasket change

It comes with the upper gasket kit, just call the dealer they can get you one.

Mine never leaked.
We got done doing the rebuild and I asked John (run4cvr)
Hey. I wonder what this knobby little rubber band is for?"
He said CPS gasket. Hmm. Never leaked in over 140kmi, so I left it out. Now my CPS is the only part of my engine that I know is leaking and I don't know where the damn thing went.
Maybe Sarah used it like a ponytail holder or something. :shrug

I just use some Black RTV to hold that in place. That's all that is necessary. I use black RTV for a lot of things, though.
