did you clean it out before you put the o-rings back on, try making it smooth with some sand paper or steel wool, and make sure the o-rings are the right size becuase they are kinda thick

use a dab of sealant to hold the o-ring in place.
Sounds like its slipping off when you assemble it and then gets crushed and leaks.
