Yep. Eventually, the seals will swell up (if you're lucky) and the leak will stop. I had my main seal replaced when I had the timing belt, waterpump etc done, and ever since it hasn't leaked one tiny little drop. Score.

Good luck though, they're AWESOME cars, even if they aren't the best in accel, handling, etc.
