My O is not in front of me so I'm dangerously working from memory. I don't believe the normal oil level is as high as the input shaft seal. Accordingly I don't think even with no seal at all there would be a significant static input shaft oil leak. I'd check closely for another lower leak source-reduction housing gasket, drain plug, axle seals, rear cover etc.
