Here is the update on the o-ring malfunction....I discovered that the bolt was not going in straight. Don't know much about the history of this bike but it appears that at some time during the fluid change the bolt was cross treaded, which explains why the seal was pushing out the back.  So after talking to a local bike mechanic, that told me he has seen a few of these before, I re-tapped the first couple of threads in the trans pan and it worked! The bolt straightened right up. I put some grease on the tap to catch any shavings. The other alternative was to drop the pan and install a helicoil. That didn't sound like a fun job.
I do like that nylon washer idea....Thanks all..

Thanks for the update.
