That depends on what the o-ring is being used for. Generally speaking, a bad o-ring will leak whatever liquid or gas it is supposed to be sealing, period. When this happens, you have four choices; Have someone replace it; Replace it yourself; Discard whatever item the o-ring is used in; Or continue using the item with the bad o-ring until it no longer functions.
