Nothing wrong in using an old gasket as long as the machine surface of the parts are good and you use silicone seal or pipe thread and joint compound to assist in sealing.

Is it leaking at the top of the pump below the head, around the bolts, or at the bottom?

Did you notice any of the bolts turning a little harder than the others? Could have had a broken bolt that was drilled out and not properly centered causing the pump housing to bind and not match surfaces properly.

Use a new gasket Fel-Pro# 4267. NAPA does not have them any longer, but Autozone does for about 2-3 bucks each.

Clean threads and if one of the bolts binds, tighten that one, then the other two.
