Gearbox oil leak

I noticed the other day that there was gearbox oil (too clean to be from the engine) all over the gear selector mechanism and on the underside of the gearbox housing, albeit not enough to drip on to the floor.



It looks like the gear selector shaft seal/boot needs replacing and looking at the workshop manual it doesn’t look to bad a job. Has anyone done this, any tips? I am assuming that most of the transition oil will try to escape when the seal is removed?
