Just gotta see how it develops. Not sure if it is gonna be an issue. Just dribbled a bit while i was doing the brakes then stopped. Its been out again and hasn't leaked anymore.

Just thickens the oil to slow it down.

I guess you can just take that from cover off to replace the oil seal but then you will need a gasket for that too.

I am right in thinking its just take the cover off behind the release bearing. Swap seal & refit?
