if it's the pump that is driven by the camshaft at the rear of the engine, then gasket thickness is of importance beacause of the meshing gears. you have to check carefully the mating surfaces for iregularities and straightness. if surfaces are straight the best solution may be a tin gasket (cut from a spray can or oil can etc.) a material like 'loctite plastic gasket' applied to both sides and prefarably 'f' grade bolts tightened to their proper torque. make sure your tin thickness is closed to the original gasket thicness.
if the pump sealing surface is not straight (due to tihgtening with a soft thick gasket or a too thin gasket), you can try the tin and plastic gasket. if that dosen;t help, then it should be machined or replaced.
