o-ring leak in diff

It appears the silicone is leaking out of my center diff by passing by the o-ring.

I have 5000 weight in it. Im sure its not the paper gasket thats leaking. Does any one sell just the o rings? i guess the DA made it expand the last time I cleaned it out and is keeping it from sealing around the diff cup.

I had the same thing happen on my Savage diffs and it was the lame O-ring on the outer diff gear. I replaced it and all other O-rings and it was good to go!.
