After clutch fail, probably caused by release shaft not returning properly, I had the flywheel off to get it inspected. General consensus is its within limits so, that's going back on.

While this is off is it good practice to replace the crankshaft oil seal, or just leave it be if it doesn't appear to be leaking?

TIA

If it's not leaking, then there's no need to replace it.

Cool, one less job this weekend!
I'm sure I'll get the chance to replace it another time! ;-)
