Sorry dude i know the one on a spare dip tube i have is fooked as i heated it up to get the tube out of tranny.
As a short term stop gap you could wrap the area the o ring goes with ptfe tape (the white stuff plumbers use. 70p from any DIY store

Do you have a bit of the old o-ring to measure the cross section, etc?
Take the dipstick to a local engineering suppliers to select an o-ring that fits.
Measure the diameter and width of the groove and look at the following site to find a suitable o-ring:
