And get them to change the crank seal while the gearbox is off even if it isn't the cause of your current problems. You don't want to have to take it off again for a while so it's worth fixing all the potential failure points.

I think that's how mine behaved when the crank seal was leaking oil onto the clutch, it was definitely a gradual deterioration but it was a long time ago so I don't recall if it had to warm up first or not,

 

When I finally took the gearbox off it was coated in thick tar like oil all over the bellhousing, it was amazing it had any drive at all.

if the crank seal was leaking would i be able to see this on the floor where i park? or would it be leaking internally only?

Most of it goes onto the bellhousing so you wont see much if anything leaking out.
