I had the same last year, took it to my local garage and i am not sure if he purchased a gasket but all was cured for a just a few pounds including one of the small hoses, so i am sure you dont have to buy anythig major. I can hear your sigh of relief!!

Its just a device to keep the throttle body from freezing, if you live in temperate climate its not really required so bypassing is not a problem.
