Dragging this one out from the archives, as I have discovered I have the exact same issue when I removed my airbox.
Whilst I am in there I would like to replace the seal but don't know if this is a simple job. Anyone done this?
Cheers

Manual Transmission Linkage Oil Leak
I was wondering if anyone could tell me if this is a 10p Seal - 10 hour labour gearbox out jobby or not?
Appreciate any help, thanks.

So it is possible to rebuild. You need to buy the seal and have some specialist tools to dismantle the unit, but I have done it and it’s all back together. Reason it fails is the unit is sat right under the exhaust silencer and has no heat shield so the seal dries out.
I am going to make a little heat shield to prevent it happening again.

All complete. New seal fitted and working. So it absolutely is serviceable.
