When doing the oil change on my 8 last week as part of the condition inspection I noticed oil on the accessory housing near the right hand mag. It appears to be leaking from the lower right hand stud on the vacuum pump drive adapter . My engine has a cover plate installed there so I ordered a replacement gasket to install before I finish up the condition inspection.
Looking at the parts list below, in addition to the gasket (item 15) I see that there's an oil seal (item 55) for the gear shaft (item 1). Should I replace that seal in addition to the gasket? It seems to me that there shouldn't be much oil to leak past the gasket if the oil seal is doing it's job.
