Most hydraulic hose suppliers sell a metric o ring kit and you should find what you need in that, you will also find a seal prick useful.

It's likely thats all it is. Your machine looks like new so it doesnt look like the joints could have weared. it'll only cost pennies for new ones. Its worth keeping a few spares incase it happens again whilst on a job.
