PCV valve rubber housing ripped open

I went to clean the PCV valve and when I took off the valve the rubber gasket was barely hanging on the block (into which the valve snuggly fits in). I got half of the gasket hanging out and the other half probably went into the combustion chamber and vaporised.

How often does this happen to the rubber gasket? I have to get one from the dealer, provided he is stocking it...

The FAQ's stickies should have one. There was also a thread detailing the picture, look to the left of the air filter, there is a hose running to the block, kind off hidden but easily visible right next to the throttle spring assembly.

Can someone post a picture?
