MT gearbox... axle seals leaking

On inspection my mechanic tells me the Manual Transmission seals to the axle are starting to leak on 2002 Linear 81k miles. No noticeable drop in fluid level. He recommends $700 repair to replace seals since I will be unable to monitor fluid level without a lift.
Could it be that this is a typical condition for these seals and not a sign that they are about to fail? Maybe all I should do is check fluid level, seal condition at 5k oil changes.
Maybe leaking seals is the first symptom of a more serious problem within the transmission although it still shifts fine. I'd hate to replace them only to have the box fail afterward.
ideas?
