It would help if we knew the year and model of your bike. My '19 Softail uses the same o-ring in all three places, but the previous poster's bike does not, for example.

Once they quit using a tapered plug drain in the primary, they all use the same O-ring. I get mine from McMaster-Carr.

Pssst...The hardware store on the corner has them in every size. Cheaper too, and you don't have to buy so many that they turn brittle before you use them all.

I got a big pack of them (20?) from my local HD dealer. I'm sure I paid way more than you could get
them from the HW store or amazon, but they were still pretty cheap.
