This o ring/ seal is perhaps the most difficult to assess as any issues with all the others can be picked-up readily well before the dive.

A thorough pre-breathe is your best chance to pick it up.

I've been using silicone grease for this as the o2 stuff goes all chalky and horrible. I believe this is acceptable as it is only in contact with low pressure o2. If anyone has any concerns to the contrary please advise.

More ambient than low pressure. That's SOP on PRISM, which needs a copious amount of silicone grease around the head/bucket connection.
