Default Oil Filter Adapter Large O-Ring MISSING!?!?

So i just finished getting that PITA oil filter adapter off and there was no trace of a larger O-Ring..the other 2 small ones were there (on the bolt) but not the big one.???? there was however a grove on the housing as well as the adapter
Has anyone had the same thing happen to them???
Im wondering if there may be a certain style of adapter that doesn't have the large o-ring???

I did a whole lot of searching but everyone else seemed to have all 3....

thanks for any input.

Theres 3 orings... Maybe it was done before and some dumbass didnt put it in, it disintegrated, or was never there from the factory.

Yeah there's supposed to be 3 total. Was it leaking before? Go to the local parts store and get a new one. They're nice and cheap

You do realize that it's possible you have no RMS leak but it could all have been coming from the OFA seals?
