Default Oil leak from front VVT cam area

I just changed both front cam seals, timing and auxilary belts, water pump, idle and tension pulley's on both timing and auxilary belts. Now I have a leak, and it looks like it is coming from the VVT cam side. I was having a little leak. But now its spraying out. Should I change the VVT sprocket that has the o-ring. Is there anyplace that just selld the o-ring. Any help would be great.

Once you get the CVVT off you will notice that it has a o-ring on the inside and another o-ring around the front cap. I was able to buy the set on Ebay for $15 by searching "volvo vvt o-ring". To be sure its the right o-ring's you can confirm by using the numbers stamped on the front of the VVT. My number was 9497786. That is the culprit.
