It will take a gasket hook tool to take the old o-rings off. If that is indeed the source of your leak, once the alternator is out it would take 15 minutes to replace them. One bolt to remove, pull the lines loose, replace o-rings, put lines back in, and replace the bolt.
Yeah i need to confirm the a source of the leak first. So did you also change the thermostat gasket or just the o rings? Also did you access the lines from top or bottom of car?
