Oil below my distributor

OK So when I was redoing my top end, the o ring on the right of my cam shaft (by the distributor) didn't come with the kit, and it seemed to have some black crud packed in to it. So I scraped it out, would rather have to replace an oring then have that crap dislodge and go into my engine. Welll it's pissing oil now, and I need to replace it.

1. is this the right o-ring? http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/DOR1/64213/N0243.oap?ck=Search_N0243_-1_-1&pt=N0243&ppt=C0142

2. My valve cover gasket, cam shaft o-ring for the timing gear side, and distributor gasket only have maybe 50 miles on them. Can I reuse them to no ill effect?

*edit: Oh, I don't have to remove my camshaft to I XD Derp! It's just on the distributor right?

Thanks a bunch Old Man ^^ You're a big help.

O'reilys is awful! They said they had my O-ring, took my distributor, broke the old o-ring, and found out the one they wanted to sell me was 1/4" too big. UGH So they sold me some blue rubber o-ring of the correct size. Then I asked for a foot of 1/2" fuel line, and they gave me 10" but recut it when I called them out on it. Then I asked for 1/8" vacuum hose and they brought out 1/4" -.-
