I replaced the small seal in the shaft on my 916 whilst the engine was apart as it seemed a sensible thing to do given the age, mileage and the fact that the seal is cheap, even though it wasn't leaking.
It did however leak afterwards because I fitted it the wrong way round
Next ride out the clutch slipped due to the oil in it and when the bike sat, oil dripped onto the exhaust to make a smokescreen on startup.
In my defence, it's a small seal and not so easy to see which way the 'lip' was pointing - I should've gone to specsavers...
