When I replaced my t-belt last year at Huw's, I decided to do some
preventative maintenance and replace the crank and cam seals. The 
crank seal gave me problems (even using Chris Miller's tools), so I 
decided to leave the cam seal alone. Here it is ~10K miles later, and 
the crank seal is leaking like a drunk in an alley, and the cam seal is 
fine. 

If I had to do it again (what am I saying? I _have_ to do it again), I'd 
leave the non-leaking seal alone. But then, I've already exposed 
myself as a Monkey Lad.
