You can't even see my oil filter or steering box from above.

What condition was the old O ring in?

The old o ring snapped when I took it off the plug...

I don't know how to draw an arrow in but,

Right next to where the oil filter screws on you can see an oil cooler line going into the oil pump housing.

Directly next to that oil cooler line hole is the hole where the plug with o ring lives. It is horizontal and heads directly from left to right in that pic.
