Hi - yes, absolutely change the o-rings. They get brittle with heat and age, lose their resilience, and you have oil leaks. If you would like assistance with this task, I would recommend having the oil cooler replaced by a mobile, professional mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, who will come to your location, and replace your oil cooler.
