Default thermostate housing

Hi all just a quick question.
i took my thermostat housing off, refitted it and there is water leaking from around it. I take it there should be a gasket between the housing and head.
are these available from any motor parts shop or will i need to visit ford.

thanks

you can get them at most motor factors or use some blue hylamar(not sure on spelling) around the edges instead
