Swap the washers too.

Part 12 and 14 here.  If you've recently removed the valve cover, they may be leaking, not necessarily the o-rings.

Thanks for the diagram ..yes i remember them washers, when i had the engine apart the engine gasket set did not have the four #18 O rings so i had to re use old ones, 2k later they are seeping oil right side
