Gasket for older scroll saw

My gasket is leaking pretty badly on my older style scroll saw. I see that shopsmith only carries parts for the newer style machine. Is a gasket available for my saw, or do I have to make one?

Any auto parts store has rolls of gasket 'raw' material.
Do not over look the air bleed hole.

Advance Auto has both cork and rubber type gasket material. I bought a small roll of the cork material. I have heard some say that the gaskets always leak, but I had mine for a year, before I sold it and it never leaked. You need non-detergent oil to refill the reservoir, so I bought "air compressor" oil at Lowe's.
