I went to a place here in AZ called bearing belt and chain, they had the oil seals for just a couple bucks a piece. After trashing two of the OEM seals, I decided that was the better option. I think the ones I got were temken. There should be a similar place in your area. Get a couple just in case, because they are easy to mess up.
The base gasket is still available from honda, and that one's kind of a pita to get to seal too. But if those two seals are taken care of, the seal between case halves is only needed to keep outside stuff out... at least that's my experience.
Mine took 4 attempts and a lot of bad words, but it's been sealed up now for about a year.
