If there was a leak the car will not idle correct? And the only thing that I saw was on the lower intake in the center you know where that hole is, I saw a little bit of the gasket material on it but on the gasket itself it doesn't look like anything really came off so I guess it just probably is a little bit up smudge of paper but it I mean it actually look like there's more on the intake and self on the lower than it is that came off of the gasket so I don't know why LOL.

YES IF it leaked idle would be unhappy.

Normally I reuse, but for me time=money so if I had any reason to suspect a possible risk of leakage I’d just toss it in the trash and get a new one.

9 times out of 10 I reuse

I have smeared a thin coat of rtv on the upper and stuck the gasket to it, reused a few times.
