The input shaft leak was probably due to the bad Pbearing. Replace the seal on the tranny just to be safe.

TO remove old Pilot bearing =
Fill the hole with wheel bearing grease, pack it in to fill all the area, you are going to smack the tool with a hammer so the grease that is displaced pushes the bearing out of the blind hole in the crank.
If you have an old input shaft it works best but a metal tool for aligning the clutch disc under the pressure plate also works well.
Start the tip of the input shaft into the hole/pilot bushing. Use a bigger hammer to shock or hydraulic the bearing out of the hole. If it does not come all the way out fill with grease and repeat.
