I have now replaced the oil seal, took some photos please see below.
For me it looks like I should get a new tacho gear?

I can't recall for sure, but I thought someone had a fix for this without replacing the gear itself, but I could be wrong. At least gears are still available if you need one.

A light wet sanding (oil and 800 grit) and a final polish will cure the gear shaft.
