Now now now - Tombie has made a very valid point which is in line with the prevailing opinion on other forums. I was looking for other ideas that I may have missed so that I can make my mind up - it is a risk assessment process - and as I said my own history with putting in new seals has not been great as something usually starts leaking for various reasons and not always my own fault.
Tombie reinforced the reasons I had heard elsewhere and there was not something I had missed, so my risk assessment is that I will leave it - if it does leak it is a drip not a gush and so will only loose an hour or so taking the pan off and another putting it all back. I will be doing regular basic fluid changes anyway so I will leave the change of the sleeve to then so no fluid will actually be lost.
Thanks to everyone for their input - I appreciate the discussion from all involved.
