Default Second lower O-rings for Air/Oil Seperator goes where?

I ordered new lower and upper O-rings for my Air/Oil Seperator and per Pelicanpart's request I ordered 2 lower o-rings.

Upon removal of my Air/Oil Seperator I found, to my dismay, only 1 lower O-ring, ??? According to the diagram on Pelicanparts, only 1 o-ring is called out and they seem too large to double up. Also, I checked the block side and found no o-ring on the block side.

Where does the second lower O-ring go?!? The answer is probably obvious and the rest of the world probably knows the answer but I'm stumped...

No second (or third overall) o ring. Their site must be incorrect.

Oh good, I'm not crazy.
This is odd for Pelicanparts to be wrong...

theres a difference between early and late AOS and the difference is the size of the lower o-ring- so it depends on which you have-many come w/ both.

I order my oil separator seals 1 week ago from Pelican and did exactly the same thing you did and ordered 2 (lower seals). It's not Pelican's fault though, the Porsche Parts Catalogue calls up 2 as well, although the diagram only shows 1.
