Asymptotics and error terms for an arithmetic function built upon $\omega$ and $\Omega$ functions

For any real number $x$, let's define $Om_{k}(x)$ as the number of positive integers $m$ below $x$ such that $\Omega(m)-\omega(m)=k$, where $\omega(n)$ is the number of distinct primes dividing $n$, and $\Omega(n)$ the total number of prime factors of $n$ counted with multiplicity. Obviously $Om_{0}(x)$ is just the number of squarefree integers below $x$.
Do we know asymptotics and (maybe conditional) error terms for $Om_{k}(x)$? What would be the consequences of RH on such error terms?

This problem was studied by Renyi, in

On the density of certain sequences of integers

Let $d_k = \lim_{x\to\infty} Om_k(x)/x$. Then the $d_k$ are the coefficients in the following beautiful identity, valid for $|z| < 2$: $$\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} d_k z^k = \prod_{p} \left(1-\frac{1}{p}\right)\left(1+\frac{1}{p-z}\right).$$

There have been several papers concerned with error estimates; a recent specimen is the following article by J. Wu:

Monatsh. Math. 117 (1994), no. 3-4, 303–322.

For the case $k=1$, I get $$\dfrac{Om_1(x)}{x} \to \dfrac{6}{\pi^2} \sum_p \dfrac{1}{p(p+1)} \approx 0.20076$$ the sum being over all primes. For $k = 2$, I get $$\dfrac{Om_2(x)}{x} \to \dfrac{6}{\pi^2} \left( \sum_p \dfrac{1}{p^2(p+1)} + \sum_{p,q} \dfrac{1}{p(p+1)q(q+1)}\right)$$ where the second sum is over all unordered pairs $(p,q)$ of distinct primes.

Similarly, for each positive integer $k$, $Om_k(x)/x$ should approach a constant as $x \to \infty$, and I expect that constant to be expressible in terms of sums of rational functions over $j$-tuples of primes for $j \le k$, the expressions getting complicated as $k$ increases.
