Greddy Type-S Leak

I just did a boost leak test a few days ago and it turns out my BOV is leaking. Im pretty sure the rubber gasket inside it went bad. Cause I tried tightening it pretty much all the way and this leak just started a couple weeks ago.

Does anyone know of any places that sell a replacement rubber gasket or the
dimensions of the one in it?

Actually, it's 82.50 for the diaphragm. For that price, I decided to upgrade to something with less moving parts inside which was the APS for me. When mine died, the car started to gobble and it just got worse over time.
