My question is; is this O ring expansion common?
Yes the o-ring issue is fairly common especially if they are old or over stretched. You can order replacement o-rings from McMaster-Carr in a stiffer shore and perhaps slightly smaller I.D.
I don't have a part # off the top of my head but there are many to choose from.
