I have not changed the WP seal yet as initially , I was not completely sure that it was in fact gone . The oil in the transmission did look really bad when I got the bike and it was a logical assumption that it did need to be replaced . However , the seal was not readily available ( backorder ) so I figured for the time being , it was easy to just change the fluid and see what happened . As I've said , it has gotten steadily better with every fluid change . So , when the WP seal comes in I will change it for sure just out of principle . What's strange is why the leak on the counter shaft has now stopped . It's a good thing , but , just trying to better understand possible reasons why .
