Just came to servicing my pikes to try and get rid of the annoying leak coming from the motion control adjust and I'm following this guide: http://www.basquemtb.com/repair-leaking-pike-motion-control/
However when I came to this bit:

the o ring under the seal indicated by the blue arrow isn't there.. (Also on a side note my one seems to be a light grey and not black) I assume this is wrong (and probably the cause of the leak) so where do I get a replacement o ring for this?

It's not there?!

That seal is a common cause of leaks in motion control forks, as it can get folded over easily, but if it's not there I'm surprised there any oil left to leak!

Are you sure it's not still in the outer part pf the assembly?

p.s. grey vs black doesn't matter - just depends on the exact fork and manufacture date.

The main seal indicated by the arrow is still there, but as i said the o ring below it definately isn't there, I've just checked and it's definately not stuck in the outer part of the assembly either
