Fuel bowl drain valve leak

I just completed my fuel filter change only to discover that my drain valve is leaking.There is a slow drip coming from the end of the drain tube.Ugh!I thought i could get away with not replacing the o-rings,but i was wrong.Any idea what size o-rings and how many i need?I would like to get them locally to cut down on my "down time".Also,since i've already got the new filter in,could i just unbolt the valve and rebuild it without opening up the fuel bowl again?Thanks alot everyone.I guess i've learned my lesson.
