Yes the gasket around the pull start that forms the other 1/2 of the crankcase is prone to failure and leaking.
An O ring would have been a better sealing agent but a paper gasket is cheaper.

The basic tool kit of a hand held mechanic is a mityvac and a bunch of hose connectors.
The 4 screws that hold the starter in place need a dob of locktite.
The gasket that you replaced come in packs of 50 or 200 for workshops and 2 for retail sales.

Congratulations for nutting it out.

I made the gasket from gasket material. Its a little thicker but works fine. Thanks
