1. A sealing structure comprising:
a first housing including a first end face;
a second housing including a second end face; and
a gasket installed between the first end face and the second end face, wherein the gasket includes:
a first loop-shaped portion in a loop shape;
a second loop-shaped portion in a loop shape positioned at a radially inner side of the first loop-shaped portion, with a first gap between the first loop-shaped portion and the second loop-shaped portion; and
a first connector portion connecting the first loop-shaped portion and the second loop-shaped portion in a part of the first gap;
wherein the first gap is a space between the first end face and the second end face that is configured to store a fluid that has infiltrated between the first end face and the second end face; and
the first connector portion has an axial thickness that is thinner than an axial thickness of each of the first loop-shaped portion and the second loop-shaped portion to increase a volume of the first gap such that the first gap is configured to store a greater amount of fluid that has infiltrated between the first end face and the second end face.
