"That threaded torque tube retainer cap is also suppose to have two O ring washers."

two metal washers (one on each side of the 0-ring)

That O-ring was a squared-edges rubber seal in the kits that I have received from reproduction parts vendors.
No leaks after many years.

Clean the torque-tube until shiny where that seat sets/seats on the torque-tube
Put a little grease on the mating surface/area.
If that area is not pitted, you might not get a leak there.
