When I bought my '93 940 NA, 101,000 miles, I replaced the seals when I did the t-belt and tensioner. Although the seals weren't leaking, they had hardened so much that they just shattered when I took them out. The seal material was more like bakelite than rubber. I'm pretty sure that the synthetic oil which I switched to would have leaked fairly quickly altough I can't be 100% sure of that. Anyway you won't get them installed any cheaper than when they are doing a t-belt. By the way I did all that myself.
