The Ricardo gaskets that David sells are identical in pattern to a normal LC gasket but thinner. So, if not available, a standard LC gasket is a good substitute. I've had no issues with the Ricardo gaskets but I always fit with a smear of copper silicone to be on the safe side. If you've oil showing on the center stud, check its torque. You might find that the stud's pulling out of the block because of a poor thread. Exactly what happened on my new Ulster engine back in February.
