Default MK1 Focus - Clutch Master Cylinder O-Ring

Morning, newbie here so treat me gently please! After some help please. MK1 1998 2.0ltr Ghia Focus Estate. I had to change the clutch master cylinder. The metal rod on the clutch pedal broke away (poor weld on one side only) and in turn it snapped the plastic piston on the master cylinder. So with the rod welded back on and the new cylinder fitted all looked good BUT...........I have a leak where the SMALLER pipe going from the master cylinder to slave pushes into the master cylinder, in the Haynes noted as "Fluid pressure pipe (to slave cylinder)". The O-ring on the end of the pipe is intact but I think worn. Would anyone know the size please? Maybe there's an exploded view for this. Or is it a trip to FMOC for a complete new pipe? Many thanks.

SORTED! The O ring is NOT available from Ford as a separate thing - they want you to buy the complete pipe for nearly £60. Maplin Electronics do an assorted box of O rings for just over £3 and one of those fits a treat. No more leak. Bled the clutch and all's good!
