On the right handside of the throttle body. It should have a white cover with a plug coming off it. Very easy to spot

Brake/carb cleaner.
As for the gasket I think they are quite durable and if you handle it carefully it should be fine

If you need a replacement gasket as I did because it vanished. B&q do a selection of sized gaskets

You needed an o-ring because you're a numptie and took it apart, Dan.

Genuine gasket available here.
