Oil filter adapter question

When bolting the oil filter adapter to the engine block, is there a required gasket? The guy at the parts counter cannot find one. Just wanted to make sure before I put it back on.

There is a gasket under there. No idea on the PN. GM dealer might know.

When I bought a new oilpan gasket it came with the adapter gasket, maybe they can see what is included in the oilpan gasket set and get individual parts.

No gasket between the adaptor and the block.In the older Chevy's with the metal can housing there was a rubber quad ring to seal the can but no gasket.
