This sounds more like coincidence than cause/effect to me. Probably your old seals were about to go anyway, or you noticed the leak because you were paying closer attention. I bet they're not related.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
