I am no epert by any means but logic tells me that a double o-ring should protect you from leaks better? Assuming that the diameter of the replacement is identical to the one you removed.

In the first picture, it seems that the chain tensioner is leaking? The o-ring should be easy to replace after locking the cams, am I right?

EDIT: Before yo do anything, you should clean properly...

Mark, if you didn't find any oil inside the rubber boots, then the leak is from the viton o-rings that connect the metal pipes to the rack, these are not expensive and very easy to replace.
