I gotta see how to do maintenance on it myself. Right now I’m clueless though I guess the orings you’re talking about are those which can be found at the front top of the machine.
but I can’t speak to whether it’s enshittified these days or not
Mine sounds older, but pretty much anywhere the water supply tubing runs, it has a red Viton oring around the tube and a brass backer that clips it into the fittings. That oring will start to leak as it gets old. They’re a weird metric size so finding them was a hassle, but now I have a bag of them for that job.
I’ve also replaced the tubing itself with teflon tubing that you can get from 3D printer websites. They use it as Bowden tubes.

Eh we can all guess that they are…
Thankfully the second hand market exists.
