You can use the regular thermostat gasket. Check first to make sure it isn't leaking from the rubber cap that blocks an unused line. The gasket shouldn't suddenly start leaking.

does that line leak alot? because after the leak i noticed i some what had my upper radiator line pintched and thought maybe the pressure caused it

Had that problem too, except that it was a cap on the block that had deterated due to a oil leak on the back camshaft.
I replaced the cap and temp sensor there while I had it out. I used RTV for a gasket.
