The gasket (called "thermostat seal" by Volvo) is about 75cents from FCPGroton and is probably Scan-Tech. Like Art, I've used these for many years with no troubles...but I check thermostats every two yrs or so at coolant flush time and install a fresh seal. I always keep a few in the parts drawer. They're too cheap and too important not to have a spare handy.

When you observe their design, it's obvious that you don't need to put much torque on the two little 10mm nuts/studs to make things leak-free.
