There are actually on 3 o-rings total: a small one for where the rigid pipe goes into the water-pump and the other two larger o-rings are on the adapter that feeds into the engine block.
I did this job yesterday (replace water-pump); it's not too bad but it *is* time-consuming. Go slow so that you get things right, but if you put it all back together to find a leak (say from the new o-rings not seating or the banjo bolt washers allowing a leak), it'll break your heart.
The water-pump kit I used came with the o-rings, but one of the two larger ones was too large. I was able to match the correct o-ring at my local NAPA store. I used pure silicone grease--usually available at Ace Hardware--to make reinstalling the pipes and o-rings a bit easier.
Lots of info on this board; searches will reward.
