Location of leak is not known for sure.
Sounds like leak is where tubular drain pipe connects to side of disposal?
If leak is where disposal connects to sink, typically this connection is sealed using plumbers putty.

I don't know if your local home depot sells gaskets. Probably not sold separately.
2) Go to home depot and take rubber gasket out of a new garbage disposal box.
3) Or buy new disposal with a gasket, use the gasket and return disposal saying that part was missing..
4) To seal old gasket, use rectoseal white pipe joint compound.
Cover the gasket with rectoseal and then assemble parts.
Open following link above for photo of rectoseal.
I always use rectoseal on tubular drain connections for 100% seal first time every time.
