I haven't had the blue dots apart but have had other calipers apart that are similar.  The should be 2 O rings, one thick and one thinner. The thicker one go's in the lower groove in the caliper bore and the thinner one on the top side of the bore.  The thinner one I believe serves as more or less as a dust shield keeping crap from getting down to the heavier primary seal.
Hope it helps....
