How can I fix my breadmachine pan?

This guy kludged a repair for an Oster breadmaker simply by substituting a few o-rings (which sounds dicey to me):

It won't have a seal (it would get too hot and melt), but simply relies on a relatively tight fit between the shaft and the bush (bearing) in the pan.
If either are worn, you will get a leak.
