Bro, head to FLAPS. Most of them have a generic set of O-rings behind the counter, that's all that thing is. Find one that fits, and drive on.

The generic o-rings are round and the distributor o-ring has a specific shape to it. The Bosch ones do not leak, but the generic ones often do. The round o-rings will leak soon do to their small contact area.
This is a BOSCH o-ring. They are not round for a reason.

The one CIP sells and most vendors sell are aftermarket and they tend to leak. Your best best is to get a real Bosch seal and they can be ordered through your local dealer, part number 111 905 261.
