Throttle body leaks coolant. Need advice!

So I took off the throttle body last night to clean it up and saw that it had a gasket. I didnt even really consider what was behind it and I should have. The gasket itself looked good yet so I figured I would just reuse it because I had no good way to go to town to get another and it was late anyway. I put it all back together and went and started the car and the coolant would start leaking out after about 7 seconds. I guess I was kind of surprised to see that and at the same time bummed because that meant that today I had to bike 6 miles to my college. Should I just look into another gasket or is there something I forgot to do? Also if I need a gasket would any parts store have one?

Not sure if this was already asked around here but I dont have internet at my place and I dont really have time to search around due to classes and such. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
 


Here's the part numbers for the gasket. I assume you have a L36..but listed both

61024..............Throttle Body gasket (L67)......................
61093..............Throttle Body gasket (L36)........................
 
Just a quick little update,

All it was was a gasket problem and its been running good for a full day now and not leaking at all!
