New replacement part may not be available locally, visit shershah (karachi's junk market) and buy a complete part i.e., solenoid + gasket as the shopkeeper may not sell the gasket alone. Whole assembly shall cost around 2500.
Better to take off the vtec solenoid from your car and keep it with you when searching for the gasket and/or solenoid, this will save your time in finding the right item.

The new gasket (from scrap yard) must be soft, flexible and with a clean strainer. Don't use any silicon/gasket maker when assembling the unit. Use a torque wrench and apply torque as mentioned in the manual, never overtight or the gasket will fail again.
Keep the area around the solenoid clean and dry to detect oil leakage when testing the new unit.

Locate the part number on epc data honda website. I would personally order this from Dubai or if available from rockauto or amazon instead of a junk yard part.

Just for future reference of others, the part ID is 15825-P2J-005 (same as civic 2005 vti oriel) and is available in Karachi At Nasir Motors Plaza and Honda Sugoi DHA (price was around 2700rs). Sourcing this as junk will be only a waste of time and money as this is a one time use item and the O ring material compresses to conform to the groove.
