Two schools of thought here; One - replace it while everything is disassembled hoping to save some $.

Second - if the seal is not leaking, leave it alone.

Not all RMS leak prematurely, maybe 20-30%. It's a specialized 'skill' to properly install this seal. If not done properly, the 2nd seal may begin to leak soon after requiring additional expense, not saving it.
