Master Cylinder Leak

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to cure a leak on the master cylinder cap. It looks like my gasket is too compressed and leaks out of the side. I tried NAPA, Autozone, etc. for a replacement but they only have them for 73' on up. The catalogs don't seem to have just the gasket for sale either. Is there a quick fix or do I have to buy an entire master cylinder?

My master cylinder was leaking and it turned out it was because my parking brake cable wasn't sliding in the sheath and so the brake was dragging. It would boil the fluid out. Are you sure it's the gasket and not just a symptom of something else?
