If you're talking about the actual paper cv gasket no. The cv is packed with heavy grease.

the gasket I am speaking of .. from the exploded view in the haynes manual it appears to be the one that is between the trans and the cv .. basicly it is leaking fluid down the side of the trans right wher the CV bolts to the trans

I'm kind of confused. There is no fluid where the cv bolts to the drive flange. Only cv grease. It sounds like you are talking about the tranny seal for the drive flange. If that's the case you'll have to pull the flange and r&r the seal. Not that big of a deal.

Remove CV axle from out put flange, you will then see a bolt in the center of the flange (it may be hidden by a bunch of grease). Lock your parking break (stops other side from turning) and remove that bolt. Pulll flange, remove old seal, replace new seal, assemble and enjoy.

make sure you use a 12-point-star allen socket to remove the bolts, a standard 6 point might/will, BTDT (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) , strip the bolts.
