Sink Strainer Bottom Gasket

We had a leak under the kitchen sink so I tried to do it myself. I bought a new sink strainer but forgot to install the gasket that goes under the sink in between the bottom part of the strainer and the actual sink. Can I live without it or should I undo all of it and install the gasket? There are currently no leaks so im hoping to leave it.

Thanks

It will start leaking eventually..Do it now or do it later.

Fill the sink with hot water and then drain it a few times. Thats a good test for leaks...

There should be a paper washer also...
