From the factory, they used just one exhaust cover gasket between the baffle plate and the power head. The baffle plate to exhaust cover was sealed with some type of sealant. Some of us prefer to use a second gasket instead of relying on just sealant for the baffle plate to exhaust cover connection.
If you take the exhaust cover off, make sure you clean up and inspect the baffle plate, and especially the lower half of the plate. Pin holes are common, and they allow water to spray into the exhaust ports.
Great choice on your parts vendor. If you need a new plate Ed may have one for you.
