Powersteering failure - o-ring question

We had the powersteering eject all its fluid about a mile from home the other day. Saw some smoke behind me from a stoplight and thought we were in for engine trouble. Whew. I never really figured out where the fluid leaked from. It was a mess in the serpentine belt area and had spattered all over the left side of the engine.
I ordered a pump and belt, replaced it two days later following the advice of dchmiele1992 (thank you!).
Had to pull the pulley off as well - not fun. Ask your supplier if it is on there already. I neglected to do so and it adds time to an otherwise pretty simple job. With the new belt and pump, I can better hear a whine that is probably the alternator bearings. Can't wait to tackle that..ugh.
Question though - does anyone know the size of o-ring that goes between the pump outlet and the high(er) pressure hose? I want to replace it, but don't want to drop in a random ring based on looks alone.
