hi there, if i were you if your budget will stretch to it fin a minispares ultralight flywheel backplate and a new orange cover have all the rotating assembly ballance up .......... the jobs put to bed and the motor will be very smooth and spin up very quickley!

if your on a budget fit a new standard clutch plate in there and new orange cover, the high spots what you have seen wouldnt worry about them if you cant feel them

if the oil seal keeps leaking i would suspect the main bearings to be goosed ......whats the oil pressure like after its warm on idle near zero ?
