sometimes they can look ok. try the_birds trick first. to inspect them, look at the cross section, is it round or flattened? they should be round but even ones that are flattened some should seal. Bend the oring backwards and look for little cracks, if you see cracks replace them. even if they seal they become bacteria harbors and will fail soon anyway.
