do i need this Oil filter bracket gasket??

[DSM_brother2]

in vfaq it shows you need a Oil filter bracket gasket, but while taking mine apart i didnt notice one. and i dont find them online. is it a big deal if i dont use one?

umm, Pics so we have a better idea of what you're talking about.

pics would help a ton. but if oil is going through it you probably need one so it doesnt leak. you probably have to get from the dealership as well

Yes, you should have one. Are you sure it's not stuck to either the oil pump or filter bracket? Give Brookdale Mitsu a call, they might have it, or will be able to get it for you.
