Need gasket, please help

Can anybody please explain to me what gasket this is so that I can order one and the people at the parts store will understand what I want, we all know what its like dealing with them when they don't know what you mean haha.
(I have a savage vacuum leak from what seems to be some sort of vacuum manifold where it is attached to the intake manifold)

Yeah I didn't find it in any of those links either :-( and of course when I call the dealership they tell me "there is nothing on your engine called that, the only gasket I see connected to your intake is the egr gasket"
UGH

They are not smart. The VIAS is what makes your the motor the VQ30DE-K rather then the 4th Gen VQ30DE.
