I'm not sure about the sealer / lubrication question, but assuming you are talking about the o sing behind a water cooled engine oil cooler I do have a bit of advice. The oil cooler o-ring won"t come offwithout disconecting the oil cooler from your colant lines. Get a couple of pairs of needle nose vice grips and put hose over each of the claws, this way you can clamp off the coolant lines to avoid loosing too much coolant in the operation.
