O-rings are used on 1995 and up opti drives. Your sig says 1994.

I may lie ~ but Shoebox always speaks the truth Yes ~ I just changed a leaking water pump drive seal on my 94 Vette this past weekend and one of the O-rings was also gone ~ it appears they are there to keep the drive coupling centered.
