If it is leaking from somewhere else... Then it has to come out to stop the leak. If you were taking it out to replace a seal or gasket, then you would probably replace all the seals and the gasket while you have it out, that way you won't have to take it out again in 6 months to replace something else... So take it out and replace the gasket and the seals (except the one on the trunion shaft), then you can put it back in with confidence.
Why not the trunion shaft? ..... I was going to suggest that it may be leaking there. My 1811 does... took me a while to find it, and haven't had the time to pull the rear end to fix it. I've replaced that seal on others with no ill effects....
