there is a seal inside that keeps the oil in the cylinder so no gasket at the back. i will try and find a diagram for you.

The MC overhaul kit has the seals for the reservoir to cylinder (or the last ones had did)
Obviously that doesn't help if the reservoir is **** ... It don't think they are sold as a separate part
