I replaced mine with the seal that's included with the engine gasket set.  I
had used the head gaskets from the set some time ago and had the "extra"
gaskets and seals on hand.  Right after installing the front seal, new
clutch and tranny seal (among other things) I went on a 3,000 mile trip and
have made numerous shorter trips since without even a hint of a leak.

$91.00 really sounds out of line.
