I'd say it's gone for good

Hi,

The easiest thing to do might be to open up a second filter, "borrow" the o-ring and remember to reuse it when it's time for the next oil change.

The worst that can happen if it leaks is a slow leakdown of the oil canister.

all of the o rings and washers come with the filter when you buy it from the dealer.
