Yeah, it sounds like the O-Ring has expanded. I know others have found the correct size at typical hardware stores but I don't remember the size. You could just measure the diameter of the platter spindle below where the gear teeth are and take the old one with and get one that has the same inner diameter and about the same thickness.
Other than that, Adam at Turntable experts has the originals.
30 weight motor oil works very well for the platter spindle. The original was 90 weight differential gear oil and, while it works real well for damping, it eventually turns to glue/cement and freezes the platter on the spindle.
Yup, the two levers/cam followers need to be freed up for the tonearm to land where intended.
OK on the caps as they are just filters and probably won't affect the oscillator.
Good luck!
