I would balance the 'smallness' of the leak with the 'largeness' of what you are contemplating. Step one is removing the driveshaft, gear shift lever and everything between the differential and the engine block.
Then there is the 'while you are at it factor'. By the time you get to the rear seal, you might as well install a new clutch, pressure plate, TO bearing, turn the flywheel and balance the driveshaft. Not to mention change the transmission fluid and have someone give it the 'once over'. And no, I don't think the shift fork boot has been available since before I bought my JH in 1992.
Now to really scramble your noodle...
That leak from the main seal could be coming from the cam cover leaking down the header and appearing as if it came from the bellhousing. Worse yet, the seal could be fine and you could forget to put sealant on the flywheel bolts, and have to do it all over again like I did years ago!
