Frank -
That's not much leaking... but I'll tempt fate here. Replace rear mainseal,
and if there is the slightest sign of leaking, this is a dandy time to
replace the side cover plate gaskets (tappet inspection covers) also.
Inspect the ring gear and replace if any sign of wear. Check for play in
clutch throw-out bearing fork, Also replace motor mounts. ' Believe it's
the right front one that breaks on a lot of rubber-bumpered Bs.
